aoigh

I

guest, Irish aoidhe, pl. aoidheadha, Old Irish óegi, pl. óegid, *(p)oig-it; cf. the Teutonic *faig-iþ;-, whence Norse feigr, doomed to die, Anglo-Saxon fáege, doomed, English fey (Schräder). Stokes gives the Celtic as (p)oik-it, poik, whence English foe (cf. Latin hostis, hospes); but the Gaelic gh of aoigh is against this otherwise satisfactory derivation. As against Schräder's etymology, might be put a reference to the form found in Greek $$Goi$$'/homai, go, Lithuanian eigà, going, gurther root ei, go; the idea being "journey-taker". Commonly misspelt aoidh.

pleasant countenance, Irish aoibh.
