Usage notes
Two main terms for “fire” are reconstructible for Proto-Indo-European: and. They are usually considered in semantic opposition. The term is usually masculine and refers to fire as something animate and active (compare, the most prominent Old Indic deity), whereas the term  is neuter and refers to fire as something inanimate and passive, i.e. as a substance.
