+ ==Etymology==
+ The origin is uncertain.^(OLD 2012)^(de Vaan 2008) Eichner reads ⟨hauelod⟩ on the Forum inscription as the ablative of an adjective ⟨*haued-o-⟩ “false, lacking”, which he derives from ⟨*gʰou̯-i-dʰó-⟩ and the root [[ine-pro|*gʰeu-|t=to hide]]; de Vaan calls this speculative.^(de Vaan 2008) It would then be related to [[sga|gáu|t=falsehood]] and [[cy|gau|t=lie, deceit]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary)^(Köbler 2010)
