Proto-Celtic
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *kápros (“male hooved animal”).
The change from p to b is phonologically regular in Proto-Celtic in this position, but the change from k to g is unexpected. There may have been conflation with the *gʰayd- that underlies Proto-Germanic *gaits and Latin haedus, as this would have given *gaid- in Proto-Celtic. However, there is no evidence for *gaid- itself in Celtic.[1]
