God - guD - घुड्

God - guD - घुड् - To prevent, defend which can become a noun "god" or "guD". The English word itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic * ǥuđan which matches what I found for Sanskrit root. The reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form * ǵhu-tó-m was likely based on the root * ǵhau(ə)-, which meant either "to call" or "to invoke". Havan, YaGna or "hutam" is that PIE "ghau" and ghee or "घृत" for clarified butter is related.
