Ath. 1, 11 d).Origin: IE [Indo-European] [1173] *u̯e-kʷsp-er-os `to(wards) the night, evening'Etymology: Inherited word, identical with Lat. vesper, -ī `evening'; further to Lith. vãkaras, OCS večerъ `evening', which go back to *u̯ekeros, and in Celtic, e. g. Welsh ucher, and Arm. gišer. See e.g. W.-Hofmann s. vesper. - This difficult puzzle has recently been solved. Armenian had *e which became ei \> i before š, ž. The š can go back to - k(ʷ)s- (cf. vec` \< *u̯eks beside veš-tasan); s. Beekes, FS Rasmussen 2004, 59-62. Combined with the -k- and - sp- reconstructed for the other languages (above), this gives a group - k(ʷ)sp-. This group has been identified with Skt. kṣap- `night', of which the zero grade has been found in Hitt. i-spant- `night'. Welsh ucher can continue *u̯e followed by ks(p) or sp. The first element is probably cognate with Lat. uē- as in uē-sanus. The meaning will have been `(what stretches) to(wards) the night'.
