Oíngus

== Old Irish == === Alternative forms === Óengus === Etymology === From oín (“one”), from Proto-Celtic *oinos, from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (“single, one”). The etymology of the second element is disputed; most likely it is gus (“strength, vigour”), from Proto-Celtic *gustus, or it may be from Proto-Celtic *gus- (“choose”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵews-. The name also appears in early Welsh (as Old Welsh Ungust and Middle Welsh Unwst), allowing Proto-Celtic *Oinogustus to be reconstructed. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈoːi̯ŋ.ɡus/ (Blasse) [ˈoːi̯ŋ.ɡus] (Griffith) [ˈoːi̯ŋ.ɡøs] === Proper noun === Oíngus m (genitive Oíngusa) (Irish mythology) The Gaelic god of love, youth, and poetic inspiration, son of the Dagdae and Boann of the Túatha Dé Danann. a male given name, equivalent to English Angus ==== Inflection ==== ==== Descendants ==== Middle Irish: Oéngus, Aengus Irish: Aonghas Manx: Anghus Scottish Gaelic: Aonghas, Aonghus → English: Angus === Mutation === === References === Gregory Toner, Sharon Arbuthnot, Máire Ní Mhaonaigh, Marie-Luise Theuerkauf, Dagmar Wodtko, editors (2019), “Oengus”, in eDIL: Electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language
