Root: au̯o-s
English meaning: grandfather
German meaning: `Großvater mütterlicherseits'
Material: Arm. hav, Gen. havu `Großvater', lat. avus `Großvater, Ahn'; fem. lat. avia `Großmutter' (s. zuletzt Leumann-Stolz5 204), zweifelhaft gr. αἶα als `Urmutter Erde' (vgl. Brugmann IF. 29, 206 ff., Schwyzer Gr. Gr. I 473; anders Jacobsohn Phil. 67, 484 f., Kretschmer Glotta 5. 307); avītus `großväterlich, angestammt' ist wohl nach marītus gebildet, alter i-St. in lit. avýnas `Bruder der Mutter'; i̯o-Ableitung apr. awis `Oheim', aksl. *ujь ds. (ujka `Tante'), air. (h)áue `nepos', mir. ó(a), úa ds.; en-St.: got. awō `Großmutter', anord. afi `Großvater', āi `Urgroßvater', ags. ēam, afries. ēm, ahd. ōheim, nhd. Oheim, Ohm (nach Osthoff PBrB. 13, 447 *awun-haimaz `der im Heimdes Großvaters Lebende'), nach R. Much Germ. 205 aus *auhaim < idg. *au̯os k̂oimos `lieber Großvater', vgl. cymr. tad cu [*tatos koimos] `Großvater'), lat. avunculus `Bruder der Mutter' (wohl kosendes Deminutiv eines *avō, -ōnis); cymr. ewythr, acorn. euitor, bret. eontr `Oheim' (*au̯en-tro-). Daß unser Stamm ursprünglich die Großeltern mütterlicherseits bezeichnete, wird durch die Worte für `Oheim oder Tante mütterlicherseits' wahrscheinlich, s. Hermann GGN. 1918, 214 f.
Da arm. hav auch auf *pap- zurückgehen könnte, wäre au̯os nur nord-westidg. Ob hierher hett. ḫu-uḫ-ḫa-aš (ḫuḫḫaš) `Großvater'? Lyk. *χuga `mütterl. Großvater' scheint eher für kleinasiatischen Ursprung zu sprechen.

Dravidian etymology :

Proto-Dravidian : *ávai
Meaning : elder female relation (grandmother; elder brother's wife)
Proto-South Dravidian: *avai Proto-Kolami-Gadba : *ave Notes : The stem is occasionally used with pronominal prefixes (Tamil, Gondi), but their usage is too localised to suggest that the situation was the same in PDR. The original meaning of the root is hard to establish; it could hardly have been simply 'mother' (as there already are two basic terms for 'mother' in PDR - the honorific *áma- and the neutral *aj-). More often than not, the semantics of the stem is closely linked to the idea of old age or being elder (cf. 'old woman'; 'grandmother'; 'matron'; 'elder brother's wife'). The relations of this root with PDR *átai are also unclear. I would venture to guess that the original differentiation is seen in Kolami-Gadba, where *átai = 'father's sister', whereas *ávai = 'father's mother', but this is very flimsy evidence. // Present in 4/6 branches. dravet-meaning,dravet-prnum,dravet-sdr,dravet-tel,dravet-koga,dravet-gnd,dravet-notes,
