köken: From Middle High German pfīfen, from Old High German pfīfōn, from Proto-West Germanic *pīpōn (“to play a flute; to whistle”). Cognate with Hunsrik peife, Yiddish פֿײַפֿן (fayfn).
a whistling (action) · whistle (sound) · various hissing noises such as produced by a gush of wind, a diving bird or an air-piercing arrow (see sifflant).
köken: Inherited from Proto-Austroasiatic *huəcʔ (“to whistle”) (Sidwell, 2024). Cognate with Koho hoac, Bahnar hôch, Khmer ហួច (huəc). Sidwell's suggestion is potentially dubious. In his cognate list, PAA *uə mostly corresponds to Vietic *o or *ɔ. Vietnamese hót is more likely than huýt to be the word that is directly inherited from *huəcʔ.
