comdal cuan huath (.i. sce L. om); no ar is uathmar hi ara deilghibh "a meet of hounds is huath (i.e. white-thorn); or because it is formidable (uathmar) for its thorns."
The original etymology of the name, and the letter's value, are however unclear. McManus (1986) suggested a value [y]. Peter Schrijver (see McManus 1991:37) suggested that if úath "fear" is cognate with Latin pavere, a trace of PIE *p might have survived into Primitive Irish, but there is no independent evidence for this.
Uath the Stranger, whole again, without so much as a mark or bloodstain, strode to the hearth, baring the axe.
That night, Uath stood in the flickering light of the fire and laughed at the weak-willed warriors of Ulster.
Uath had disappeared, and in his place stood Curoi, the King of Munster, he who had been strangely absent when the rivals presented themselves for judgement.
