Comparable is OHG [[gi-kewen]] [[call]], OE [[cīegan]] <b class="b2">id.</b> < PGm. <b class="b2">*kaujan</b> (= Gr. <b class="b3">*γοϜέω</b>). One connected the Skt. intensive <b class="b2">jó-guv-e</b> [[speak out loudly]], where one would assume <b class="b2">*guH-</b>. Further the <b class="b2">r-</b>derivation OCS [[govorъ]] [[noise]] with [[govoriti]] [[make noise]] (Russ. also [[speak]]). Cf. Pok. 403. Perhaps the verb is just an onomatopoeia.
