This Proto-Indo-European entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Proto-Indo-European

    Root

    1. to promise, to vow
    2. to praise

    Reconstruction notes

    Although these terms are usually unified under a singular root, the Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture suggests that they may be split into two separate roots *h₁ewgʷʰ- and *(H)wegʷʰ-. If this division is accepted, then theoretically Hittite [script needed] (ḫuek-) could be connected to the latter root if it was reconstructed as *h₂wegʷʰ- or *h₃wegʷʰ-.[3] However, Kloekhorst prefers to reconstruct a singular root *h₁wegʷʰ- and treats the Hittite form as unrelated.[4]
