Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/lówksneh₂

Etymology
From. Alternatively from, from the s-stem of the same root (compare 🇨🇬). In this case, originally a substantivized adjective or  (compare 🇨🇬 from, 🇨🇬 from  ), as the divergent meanings of Avestan, Persian and Old Prussian indicate, and the fact that Iranian has cognates that are adjectives, not nouns. The original Proto-Indo-European lexeme for "moon" was apparently, and may have originated as a later poetic synonym.

Noun

 * 1)  moon
