[BoWE or VoWE]
The second element of CONVEY, like VIA and
WAY, are thought to come from a fabricated Indo-European root wegh (to go,
transport in a vehicle).
The infinitive בוא Bet-Vav-Aleph, BoWE
means to come, similar in Akkadian and Arabic. בא BAh (go Genesis 7:1), מביא May[V]eeYE (bring --
Genesis 6:17) and הבא Hah[V]Ay (take --
Genesis 43:16) are among the many grammatical forms of בא BoWe. הביא Hey[V]eeYE is
best lined up with CONVEY, as the Hiphil form means he brought in, led
to or caused to.
The more sensible half of the cognates listed under
this Indo-European root include ALWAYS, AWAY, CONVECTION, DEVIATE. DEVIOUS, ENVOY, FOY,
INVEIGH, OBVIOUS, PREVIOUS, TRIVIAL, VECTOR, VEHICLE, VIADUCT, VOGUE, VOYAGE,
WAG, WAGON and WAIN. See VIA.
