"goian" meaning in Old English

See goian in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈɡoː.jɑn/
Etymology: From the same root as Proto-Germanic *gawjaną with a different ablaut grade (-ō-) in the root. Compare *ġīeġan, ġēġan from Proto-West-Germanic *gauwjan. The weak class 2 formation (compare twēoġan, sċōġan) would correspond to the following reconstructions in linguistic stages ancestral to Old English: northern Ingvaeonic *gō(w)ōjan, Proto-West Germanic *gō(w)ōn, Proto-Germanic *gō(w)ōną.
