hawk (n.) Look up hawk at Dictionary.com
O.E. hafoc (W. Saxon), from P.Gmc. *khabukaz (cf. O.N. haukr, M.Du. havik, Ger. Habicht "hawk"), from a root meaning "to seize," fro PIE *gabh- (cf. Rus. kobec "a kind of falcon"). Hawkish "militaristic" first attested 1965; hawk in this sense is attested from 1962.
Frisian Hauk
Islandic Haukur

Anthony Appleyard <a.appleyard@...> a écrit :
English "hawk", Anglo-Saxon "hafoc", Old Norse "hauk", Finnish
"haukka". Is "hawk" found in any IE language except Germanic? Did
Germanic take it from a local Finno-Ugrian language that was spoken in
south Scandinavia or Schleswig-Holstein area before the IE-speakers came?
