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)

  1. egg
  2. (anatomy) testicle
