band- (*gʷheid-)

    band- (*gʷheid-)

    English meaning: drop

    Note: Considering Phryg. βεδυ “water” : nasalized Illyr. Bindus “water god”, Root band- (*gʷheid-): “drop” : Root oid- (*gʷheid-): “to swell; strong, *fast, swelling, lump, water” derived from a zero grade of Root au(̯ e)-9, aue̯ d-, aue̯ r- (*akue̯ nt-): “to flow, to wet; water, etc.”

    Deutsche Übersetzung: “Tropfen”?

    Material: O.Ind. bindú-ḥ “drop” (probably for *bandú-ḥ under influence of índu-ḥ “drop”), related to Corn. banne, banna, Bret. banne “drop” (from which is borrowed M.Ir. banna, bainne “ drop, milk “), really Irish buinne “ to gush forth, spring up, flood “; Illyr. FIG Bindus (*Bendus), Apul. fons Bandusiae?

    Note: O.Ind. bindú-ḥ “drop” : Illyr. FIG Bindus prove that Illyr.- Phryg. were the intermediaries of satem and centum languages.
