Is this different from your view previously expressed on sci.lang: "A
careful viewer will certainly have noticed that Lat. habeo has the
meaning 'keep'. Who would say at first sight that Eng. 'keep'
came from the same source as Serb. 'cuvati' (on cuva = he keeps).
It begun from 'gna-bel' - hnabiti (suppress), gnjaviti (badger,
plague bel-gna, press), gnev (rage, anger, wrath), kovati (to forge,
to hammer), okov (fetter), akov (dish, vessel), cabar (slop-basin),
kuvati (to cook), cuvati (to keep), cuvar = keeper."?

I do not know exactly what you have in mind.
'AKOV' is a special designed vessel and an old Serbian measure for
liquid - a unit of capacity, 15 U.S. gallons - about 56.6 liters.

I don't understand if, in your opinion, 'akov' is related to the Latin
'habeo' or to the root akʷā-

Slavic languages are precise in wording, completely transparent down to
the roots and quite understandable in their internal logic. Serbian
'okov' (fetter) is a compound word, oko + biti (around + beat); 'Akov'
has benn understood as a device made by 'fettering' (beat around;
hammering around); 'akov' was a kind of wooden barrel which planks had
been "fettered", encircled or bound together with some other material
(liana or iron ring for instance). There are many words originated from
the basis OKO-BITI < GON-BEL-GON: ’kovati’ (hammer, coin, weld,
forge), ’kopati’ (dig),’okupiti’ (to bring together, assemble;
in sense of the fettered barrel’s planks; clear relation
’okovati’ > ’okupiti’), ’kupiti’ (pick up, assemble, buy,
purchase; when we pick the fruits we have to put it into a certain kind
of vessel (okov, akov), ’kuvati’ (boil, whirl), ’kovitlac’
(twirl, whirl, vortex). I hope, you are able to understand the relation
between boiling and whirling; whirling is the first thing you are going
to see while pouring liquid into a vessel, the same one which is
present in the natural environment (whirlpool). There is another
Serbian word ’okupati’ (bathe, wash yourself) that directly
indicates to the fact that no one could bathe or wash himself if there
was not "fettered water" (Serb. okovana voda); i.e. you must pour water
in some kind of artificial vessel or find the natural pool (basin;
vessel again). Obviously, the ancient man was as intelligent as the
modern people of today and he philosophically understood that water had
to be fettered (Serb. okovana) for to be seen.
Finely, water is fettered everywhere, in rivers, lakes and seas.
artificial vessels (basins) and the Greek ωκεανός is nothing
else but the FETTERED WATER (OKOVANA VODA)!

Only brains as stupid as Brian's Brain Down would not be able to grasp
