"wambō" meaning in Proto-Germanic

See wambō in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈwɑm.bɔː/
Etymology: Disputed; two competing hypotheses are: * From Proto-Indo-European *wamp- (“membrane (of bowels), intestines, womb”) and cognate with Old Welsh gumbelauc (“womb”), Breton gwamm (“woman, wife”), Sanskrit वपा (vapā́, “the skin or membrane lining the intestines or parts of the viscera, the caul or omentum”). * From a root *gʷʰembʰ- (“womb”) whence also Sanskrit गभ (gabhá, “vagina”). (See also *wībą (“woman, wife”).) The latter etymology assumes that Germanic *w is the expected outcome of PIE *gʷʰ, but this is debated; see *warmaz for discussion.

  "etymology_text": "Disputed; two competing hypotheses are:\n* From Proto-Indo-European *wamp- (“membrane (of bowels), intestines, womb”) and cognate with Old Welsh gumbelauc (“womb”), Breton gwamm (“woman, wife”), Sanskrit वपा (vapā́, “the skin or membrane lining the intestines or parts of the viscera, the caul or omentum”).\n* From a root *gʷʰembʰ- (“womb”) whence also Sanskrit गभ (gabhá, “vagina”). (See also *wībą (“woman, wife”).)\nThe latter etymology assumes that Germanic *w is the expected outcome of PIE *gʷʰ, but this is debated; see *warmaz for discussion.",
