gouzout

== Breton == === Etymology === From Middle Breton gouzvout, from Old Breton gudbut, guzbut; from a Proto-Breton form *gwezboud (cf. Welsh gwybod), originally a compound of bezañ (“to be”) (older infinitive form boud or bout) with gouz, an adjective derived from Proto-Celtic *wid-, from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to know”). Cognate with Cornish godhvos and Welsh gwybod. === Verb === gouzout (transitive) to know ==== Usage notes ==== Just like ober which has an irregular mutation (gra- becomes ra- instead of expected c'hra- due to an earlier gwra- initial consonant), gouzout has an irregular mutation ouz- instead of expected c'houz- due to an earlier gw- initial consonant in Proto-Breton *gwezboud (cf. modern Welsh gwybod), as this verb is initially a compound of bout (bezañ) + an adjective *gwid (see etymology above). ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== gouzoud gouiziegezh === Mutation ===
