Etymology
sga :inh cel-pro:*Oinogustus
sga ine-pro *ǵews-
From sga oín one, from sga cel-pro *oinos, from sga ine-pro *óynos single, one. The etymology of the second element is disputed; most likely it is sga gus strength, vigour, from sga cel-pro *gustus, or it may be from sga cel-pro *gus- choose, from sga ine-pro *ǵews-.
The name also appears in early Welsh (as owl Ungust and wlm Unwst), allowing sga cel-pro *Oinogustus to be reconstructed.
