Noun [Proto-Brythonic]

Etymology: From Proto-Celtic *gyos (reconstructed as such by McCone and Matasović; Schrijver does not specify an explicit proto-form), cognate with Ancient Greek βιός (biós, “bow-string, tendon”), Sanskrit ज्या (jyā́, “bow-string”). Proto-Celtic *gyos itself is a thematization of Proto-Indo-European *gʷyeH- (“sinew”).
