Vaya 1 and Vayo (neuter) [Vedic vayas vitality, age; to be distinguished from another vayas meaning "fowl." The latter is probably meant at Dhātup 232 (and Dhātum 332) with definition "gamane." The etymology of vayo (age) is connected with Sanskrit vīra = Latin vir. man, hero, vīs strength; Greek ἴϛ sinew, ἴϕιοϛ strong; Sanskrit vīḍayati to make fast, also veśati; whereas vayas (fowl) corresponds with Sanskrit vayasa (bird) and vih. to Greek αἰετόϛ eagle, οἰωνόϛ bird of prey, Latin avis bird] age, especially young age, prime, youth; meaning "old age" when characterized as such or contrasted to youth (the ordinary term for old age being jarā).
