Reconstruction:Proto-Celtic/kuwannos

Etymology
Probably in origin. While formally similar to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, regular derivation of these terms from a common root appears to be phonologically impossible.

Although often reconstructed as *kawannos on the evidence of the Latin borrowing, this cannot explain the Brythonic reflexes, which can only reflect *kuwann-. Schrijver suggests that -av- in the Latin borrowings may represent the adaption of a Gaulish sound sequence foreign to Latin phonology.

Noun

 * 1) owl
