Descendants

Moroccan Arabic: خاوي‎ (ḵāwi)

Central Kurdish

Northern Kurdish	xav

Etymology

From Proto-Iranian *HaHmáh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *HaHmás, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₃mós (“raw, uncooked”).

Adjective

خاو (xaw)

raw, uncooked

Ottoman Turkish

Alternative forms

حاو‎ (hav), هاو‎ (hav)

Etymology

Perhaps the same word as قاو‎ (kav, “tinder, punk”), imagining the tinder conk or another porous material as a soft fuzz hanging around. Cognate with Azerbaijani xov (“nap, pile”). Synonymous Middle Armenian խաւ (xaw), Georgian ხაო (xao), Ossetian хау (xaw) / хауӕ (xawæ) and Udi ха (χa, “wool”) then are earlier Turkic borrowings. But if the 5th century Old Armenian խաւ (xaw, “layer”) is the same word, a Turkic origin is impossible.

Noun

خاو • (hav)

fuzz, down

Derived terms

خاولی‎ (havlu)

Descendants

Turkish: hav
→ Persian: خاو‎ (xâv)
