Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Isolated. The semantic agreement with the old word for `foreigner, guest' in Lat. hostis m. `foreigner, enemy', Germ., e.g. Goth. gasts `guest', OCS gostь `id.', IE * ghosti-s, led to attempts, to connect them also formally, which is possible omly with a mechanic and arbitrary analysis: *ξ-εν-Ϝος to a sero grade and nasalized present *ghs-en-u̯ō (Brugmann IF 1, 172ff.; s also Schwyzer 329 and Pisani Ist. Lomb. 73: 2, 30). Other explanations, also to be rejected, in Bq, WP. 1, 640f., W.-Hofmann s. hostis. -- Jokl (IF 37, 93, after Pedersen) wants to find a lengthened grade * ghsēn- in Alb. huai `foreign'. Very uncertein Newphryg. voc. ξευνε; on it with a Illyrian hypothesis v. Blumenthal Glotta 20, 288. Is it Pre-Greek?
