gut is ........................ anyone know

gut
Rfv-sense: "Any small internal organs."

I don't think that this literal sense is attestable. It was illustrated by a usex for a figurative sense, now present. DCDuring TALK 18:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That's not even grammatical, is it? Would that be "Any small internal organ"? Such as "the kidneys are guts"? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:55, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I would have defined it as " Any internal organ, especially in the stomach region." --WikiTiki89 19:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Proto-Indo-European root(s)
The spelling of the Proto-Indo-European root in the Etymology section should be fixed from Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/gʰewd- to Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ǵʰewd-.

Also, whereas according to this entry's etymology section *ǵʰewd- (to pour) is supposedly the root of English "gut," The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World gives *gudóm as the PIE term for "intestines," apparently the root of Sanskrit गुद. Wouldn't *gudóm be a better candidate for root of gut than *ǵʰewd-? 173.89.236.187 23:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
