Etymology
Of imitative origin, but the exact Proto-Indo-European root is unclear. Compared are Sanskrit गु (√gu, “to sound, proclaim, shout”), Lithuanian gausti (“dull sound”), but these could instead be related to γοάω (goáō, “to wail”) (from *gewH- (“to cry out”), *geH- (“to cry”)). Also compare βύας (búas, “eagle owl”), βοηθέω (boēthéō, “to help someone”), βωστρέω (bōstréō, “to call on for aid”).
