"uksḗn" meaning in Proto-Indo-European

See uksḗn in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Of uncertain origin; possibly from *h₂ug-s-ḗn, from *h₂weg-s- (“to become strong”) + *-ḗn, or perhaps from *ugʷ-s-ḗn (“inseminator”), from *wegʷ- (“to moisten, make wet”). Alternatively borrowed from Proto-Kartvelian *usx- (“sacrificial bull”) with metathesis, or a Wanderwort, whence also Proto-Turkic *öküŕ (“ox, bull”).
