"hwītaz" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See hwītaz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈxʷiː.tɑz/
Etymology: Kroonen notes a possible derivation from Proto-Indo-European *ḱweytōr, genitive *ḱwitnós, a heteroclitic byform of *ḱweytos (“bright; shine”). The oblique stem, used to form *ḱwitnós would create a voiceless geminate stop tt assuming Kluge's law, which would be reduced to a single t after the heavy first syllable once the consonantism was analogically extended to other cases. Compare Proto-Slavic *světъ (“light; world”), Sanskrit श्वेत (śvetá, “white, bright”).
