It corresponds to ey and  êg, îg,, ‘island,’ to which  êglond, îglond,  island,  eiland, ‘island,’ are allied; so too  and  Batavia, Scandinavia;  *aujô- (for awjô-, awiâ-) has lost a g. The theoretical form agwjô-, an  used as a, ‘the watery place,’ as it were (hence ‘water-land,’ i.e., ‘island’ or ‘meadow’), belongs to  ahwa, , ‘river,’ which with  aqua is based upon Aryan ákwâ. The names of places ending in (e.g. ) and  (e.g. ) still preserve the  aha  to the  ahwa.

The fact that even Roman writers knew the term under the form ûrus points to *ûrus (not ûzus) as the  form;   and  glêsum, ‘amber,’ similar to  glœ̂re, ‘resin.’ Hence the proposed explanation of ûr from  usrá-s,, ‘bull,’ must be put aside. Internal evidence cannot be adduced to show that the word is non-; the assertion of Macrobius that ûrus is  proves nothing. —   ,, even in the  ûrhan (and orhan), , ‘blackcock,’ with ûrhuon  (orhuon), ‘grey hen,’ occurs. was evidently compared with, the one appeared to be among the birds of the wood what the other was among animals of the chase.  ,, , ‘up, upwards, on, upon,’ from and  ûf, , , ‘upon’; corresponds to  ûp,  ûp-ū̆pp, and its   up;  iup, , ‘upwards, aloft,’ differs remarkably in its vowel.

Of course there is an undeniable similarity of sound between the Aryan base oq, ‘eye,’ and oculus,  ὅσσε for *ὄκjε, ὀφθαλμός, ὦπα, &c.,  akši,  oko,  akí-s, ‘eye.’ —   , see.   ,, formed, after being based anew on and  augustus, from the   ougest, ougeste,  augusto, agusto, , ‘August’ (the genuine  term is ,  aran-mânôt). août, agosto.
