"twīgą" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See twīgą in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈtwiː.ɣɑ̃/
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *dwigʰon (“forked branch”), which Orel derives from *dwóh₁ (“two”), presumably based on the two-forked shape of twigs, though Kroonen adduces no cognates outside of Germanic and leaves the origin open. Compare Old Church Slavonic двигъ (dvigŭ, “branch”), Albanian degë (“branch”).
