Etymology
The word 'low' has its origins in Old English 'hlāwan', which means 'to low, or to moo'. The term can be traced back even further to Proto-Germanic *hlaijōną, which is related to similar terms in other Germanic languages. This word reflects the onomatopoeic nature of the term, associated with the sounds made by cattle. The evolution of the word particularly adapted to describe the unique vocalizations of cows is significant in agricultural contexts, where the relationship between humans and livestock was essential for survival. Its usage in the past tense form 'lowed' indicates the completion of the action, rooted deeply in rural language and culture.
