Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Expressive iterative formation (cf. Schwyzer 717ff.) with several possible connections: to Arm. xausim `speak' (IE. *khauḱ-?; Pedersen KZ 39, 335) and Lith. šaukiù, šaũkti `cry, call loudly' (Prellwitz Wb; for the meaning cf. εὔχομαι). (Not to Skt. hávate, Av. zavaiti `call etc.', OCS zovǫ, zъvati `call', Arm. jaunem `dedicate' etc., which continue * gheuH-.) So no direct parallel; the - au- remains unexplained.
