Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Unclear:

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewg- (“sunlight, sunbeam”), thereby cognate with Ancient Greek αὐγή (augḗ, “light, beam”) and perhaps Albanian ag (“daybreak, dawn, beginning; twilight, dusk”) and agój (“to dawn”) and thus from Proto-Balto-Slavic *aug-.^[1]^[2] (For a parallel semantic development, cf. Proto-Germanic *sunþraz.)
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *yowH- (“to mix, to knead”).^[3]
