From Proto-Italic *gʷōs, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws. Cognates with Latin bos, Umbrian bum, Ancient Greek βοῦς (boûs), Sanskrit गो (go). This etymology is disputed, Blanca María Prósper argues that the Proto-Indo-European accusative singular *gʷṓm should have evolved into *bum, not bim. Other, controversial, proposals to rectify this concern are that the vocalism may have adapted itself to match sim or that bim may have merely evolved from *bum. Another theory holds that it may derive from Proto-Italic *wīs, from Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁s, itself from Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁-. If this were true, the term would be cognates with Latin vis, Sanskrit वयस् (vayas), and Ancient Greek ῑ̓́ς (ī́s). It has also been connected to Paelignian biam (“sacellum”), although hypothesis is not supported by the majority of linguists. === Noun === bim (accusative singular) The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: ox, force, power === References === De Vaan, Michiel (2008), Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages (Leiden Indo-European Etymological Dictionary Series; 7), Leiden, Boston: Brill, →ISBN
