"iw" meaning in Old English

See iw in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /iːw/
Etymology: From Proto-Germanic *īwaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁eyHw-, a suffixed form of the base *h₁eyH- (“reddish, colourful”). Cognate with Old High German īwa (German Eibe), Middle Low German īwe, Dutch ijf, Old Norse ýr (“bow, yew”). The Indo-European root is perhaps also the source of Old Irish ibar (Irish iúr), Proto-Balto-Slavic *eiwas (Lithuanian ievà), Proto-Slavic *jьva (Russian и́ва (íva, “willow”)), Latin ūva (“bunch of grapes”)). The West Germanic languages have a variant *īhwaz with a guttural consonant, represented by Old English ēoh.
