uan
From Old Irish úan,[2] from Proto-Celtic *ognos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂egʷnós (“lamb”).
uan m (genitive singular uain, nominative plural uain)
- lamb
Luigh leis an uan, agus éirigh leis an éan. (proverb)
- Lie with the lamb, and rise with the bird.
From Old Irish auen, uan (“foam”) (compare Modern Irish variants obhan, odhan, othan,[3] which all reflect the early Old Irish pronunciation of auen as a disyllabic word before loss of hiatus original caused by loss of *w.) from Proto-Celtic *ɸowinos (compare Proto-Brythonic *öwɨn which yielded Welsh ewyn, Cornish ewyn, Middle Breton eon and Modern Breton ewon) or possibly *ɸowsinos from Proto-Indo-European *pew(H)-).[4]
uan m (genitive singular uain)
- uanán (“froth”)
