Old Irish
Etymology
Uncertain. Originally a neuter s-stem, perhaps *ugos.
This word cannot be derived from Proto-Celtic *āwyom (from which Brittonic words Welsh wy (“egg”) descend), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ōwyóm,[1][2] because the -g- and the vowel in Old Irish are unaccounted for.
Pronunciation
Noun
og n or m or f (genitive ugae, nominative plural ugae)
- egg
- (anatomy) testicle
