Where this word comes from
From Ancient Greek Οὐάσκωνες (Ouáskōnes) attested in Strabo's 1st-century Geographica, Book III, of uncertain origin. Variously derived from αἴξ (aíx, “goat”) (literally “he-goat people”) or a variant of Ausci. According to Antonio Tovar, the name could have been from an exonym of entirely Proto-Indo-European origin given to the Basques by earlier Indo-Europeans inhabiting Basque country, based on the name ba(r)scunes found inscribed on coins matching the territory and period. The name would have been comprised of: * the root Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“tip, point, top”) * the suffix *-kon- * the consonant stem suffix *-es indicating the name as a nominative plural Thus, the name would have meant something like "the high (proud) people."
