Number: 1074
Root: k̂u̯es-, k̂us-
English meaning: to puff, sigh
German meaning: `keuchen, schnaufen, seufzen'
Material: Ai. śvásiti (Flexion vielleicht erst nach aniti `atmet'), śvásati `atmet, schnauft, seufzt', āśuṣāṇá- `pfeifend', av. suši `die beiden Lungen'; lat. queror, -ī, questus sum `klagen, sich worüber beklagen, wehklagen' (: ai. śvásati);
dehnstufig aisl. hvǣsa, ags. hwōsan `keuchen';
lit. šušinti `mit zischendem Geräusch durch die Luft fahren' (?? könnte wie ahd. sūsōn eine unabhängige Schallnachahmung sein).
Daß k̂u̯es- Erw. durch -es- eines k̂u-, k̂eu- (allenfalls schallmalenden Ursprungs) sei, vermutet man wegen desselben Anlautes in ai. śūt-kārá- m. `das Pfeifen, Zischen' (vielleicht eher wie śīt-kārá- junge Schallbildung?), arm. sulem `pfeife, zische' (von *soyl = k̂eu-lo- oder k̂ou-lo-), lit. šv-añkšti `atmen, schnaufen, keuchen': arm. šunč̣ `Hauch, Atem, Seele, Geist' (k̂u̯onki̯o-); lit. švir̃kšti `pfeifen, sausen', švil̃pti `mit den Lippen pfeifen' und in der Wz. k̂u̯ei-2 `zischen u. dgl.' s. dort.
