The Uropi word "Liuv", the rain

★ ★ ★

Although the Uropi word liuv comes from Spanish "lluvia," it doesn't mean that Castilian receives any preferential treatment in Uropi.

There is no common Indo-European root for rain, as it is the case for sun, wind or snow. The I-E root *wersā = rain, can only be found in Sanskrit varṣám, and in Hindi varšā; the I-E verb *sūweti = to rain, can only be found in ancient Greek ὕει "huei" = it's raining, and in Albanian: shi = rain. The terms used for rain in modern European languages are different and varied, from French pluie to Italian pioggia, to Portuguese chuva, etc… (all stemming from Latin pluvius); from Germanic Regen / rain to Slavic: (Russian дождь "dozhd'", Polish deszcz, Croatian kiša), to modern Greek βροχή "vroshí", etc…

However, when you open up your research on to terms meaning liquid, to flow, to pour, to wet, to wash… you will find a certain unity because many of those terms are formed with phonemes which are close to those of "liuv".

First we have the I-E root pleu-* = to flow, to swim, to pour which gave Greek πλεω "pleô" = to swim and πλύνω “plunô”, Armenian leval = to wash, Lat. pluvius = rain (see above), Ger. fließen, Nor. flyte, Dutch vloeien = to flow, as well as Latin fluere = to flow (from i-e bhleu-*), It. fluire, esp. fluir = to flow. (CF Uropi flujo which is almost an anagram of liuv: "liufo").

 Then we have the I-E root lowō* = to wash, which gave Greek λούω “louô” = to wash, to bathe, Lat. lavo = to wash(CF Uropi lavo) > diluo = to soak, to dilute > diluvium = flood, deluge > It., Esp. diluvio, Por. dilúvio, Cat. diluvi, Fr déluge (= Ur disliùv) as well as Welsh gwlaw, and Breton glav = rain.

Terms meaning to pour are found in the I-E root lei-* = to pour, to flow > which gave the Welsh lli = sea, tide, llif, Breton liñvad = flood, Russian лить “lit’”, Croatian lijevati, Czech líti = to pour, lijákshower, Lithuanien lieti = to pour,  lietus = rain (hence Lithuania ?: in Lithuanian Lietuva = rainland ?), Latvian lietus = rain, liet = to pour (= Uropi lijo). We can also add the I-E roots leik^w-* = to let > Latin linquo idem and liqueo = to be liquid, liquidus = It., Esp. liquido, Fr liquide, Eng. liquid and I-E leg-* = to drip > Welsh llaith, Bret. leiz = wet, Ger. Leck, Dutch lek, Da. læk , etc… = Eng. leak.

To conclude, we could even say that liuv is also close to Chinese shui = rain as far as sounds are concerned. As I already mentioned in a previous article, each Uropi word has its own history (and geography).
