"wáy" meaning in Proto-Indo-European

See wáy in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Interjection

Etymology: Might have been from an earlier *uwáy (“to see oneself”), which has been preserved in Hittite [script needed] (uwai) and Sanskrit उवे (uvé). The form *wáy would then represent a later innovation. But probably of expressive origin.
