    The Greek name Ζωή Zoe is a calque translation of Hebrew name חַוָּה khavá: "to breathe, to live", also borrowed as Eve.

  2. ^

    Because Old Persian history is my obsession du jour, Darius's Behistun inscription with 𐎪𐎡𐎺 jīva-:

    yadiy : imâm : hadugâm : naiy : apagaudayâhy : kârahyâ : thâhy : Ahuramazdâ : thuvâm : daushtâ : biya : utâtaiy : taumâ : vasiy : biyâ : utâ : dargam : jîvâ : thâtiy

    if : this : record : not : away-hide : people : you-declare : Ahura Mazda : you : friend : be : and-you : family : greatly : be : and : long : live : declare

    "if this record you shall not conceal, (but) tell it to the people, may Ahura Mazda be a friend to you, and may family be to you in abundance, and may you live long!"

    English quick's archaic meaning: "alive", is perserved in usages like "the quick and the dead" and "quickening"

  4. ^

    vitamin is a portmanteau of "vital amine". Originally spelled "vitamine" in 1912, the "e" was dropped in 1920 to de-emphasize "amine" when it was determined that vitamin C, and probably a number of other vitamins, had no amine component.

  5. ^

    Vidalia is either of two place names, one in Louisiana and one in Georgia, named after Don José Vidal, Spanish aristocrat and administrator in New Spain/Spanish Louisiana. The vidalia onion was first grown in Vidalia, Georgia. In Stephen Universe, Onion's mother is named Vidalia.

  6. ^

    In the compound *h₂yugʷih₃-s, *h₂yu- is the root of "youth", "juvenile", and "-eval" (as in medieval, primeval, etc.) and Scots "aye", meaning "always", "still". (a href="/word-family-justice.html"Justice WFF/a)

    Germanic *ajukiz is definitely derived from *h₂yu-, but only tentatively derived from *h₂yugʷih₃-s, as a possible explanation for the presence of the -k-.
