Origin: IE [Indo-European] [813?] *prō (or *pr̥h₃-)u̯(e)r-i̯h₂ `forepart of a ship'

Etymology: As old ι̯α-deriv. πρῳ̃ρα can be contracted from *πρώϜαρ-ι̯α or *πρώϜερ-ι̯α; cf. on the one hand πίειρα, πέπειρα, on the other χίμαιρα, γέραιρα a.o. Whether in κυανο-πρώϊραν (Simon. 241) an old uncontracted form *πρώειραν is preserved (Hdn. 2, 410), is unclear. The besides to be posited masc. *πρώϜων (cf. πίων, πέπων) can be found in πρών (s.v.). With *πρώ-Ϝων could be equated except for the n-stem Skt. pū́r-va- `the foremost, earlier', Toch. B pär-we `first', OCS prъ-vъ `the first'; on ρω beside Skt. ūr Schwyzer 361 (diff. WP. 2, 38, where in its place the Germ. word for `lord, lady', e.g. Goth. frauja, OHG frouwa is adduced). Details (partly diff.) in Schulze Q. 486f., Bechtel Lex. s.v. πρῶιρα and πρώων, πρών, Hermann Gött. Nachr. 1943, 5. Finally to the great group of προ, s.v. -- Lat. LW [loanword] prōra, prōreta (from Ion. *πρῳρήτης); s. W.-Hofmann s.v.
