原始印欧语根词,意为“走,移动,用车辆运输”。
The root wegh-, "to convey, especially by wheeled vehicle," is found in virtually every branch of Indo-European, including now Anatolian. The root, as well as other widely represented roots such as aks- and nobh-, attests to the presence of the wheel — and vehicles using it — at the time Proto-Indo-European was spoken. [Watkins, p. 96]这个词根 wegh-,“尤其是用轮式车辆运输”,在几乎所有印欧语系的分支中都有出现,包括现在的安纳托利亚语。这个词根以及其他广泛代表的词根,如 aks- 和 nobh-,证明了在原始印欧语被使用的时代,轮子和使用轮子的车辆已经存在。[Watkins, p. 96]它构成或组成以下单词: always; away; convection; convey; convex; convoy; deviate; devious; envoy; evection; earwig; foy; graywacke; impervious; invective; inveigh; invoice; Norway; obviate; obvious; ochlocracy; ogee; pervious; previous; provection; quadrivium; thalweg; trivia; trivial; trivium; vector; vehemence; vehement; vehicle; vex; via; viaduct; viatic; viaticum; vogue; voyage; wacke; wag; waggish; wagon; wain; wall-eyed; wave (n.); way; wee; weigh; weight; wey; wiggle。
