註釋
Whiskey, vodka, and water seem a potent, incompatible combination. However, all three words share a common Indo-European root, .wed-, 「water, wet.」 The differences between their present forms are partially explained by the fact that under certain conditions the Indo-European e could appear as o, or both e and o could disappear. Water is a native English word, which goes back by way of prehistoric Common Germanic .watar to the Indo-European suffixed form .wod?, with an o. Vodka is borrowed from Russian, in which vodka is a diminutive of voda, 「water.」 Voda goes back to the Indo-European suffixed form .woda-. Whiskey is a shortened form of usquebaugh, meaning 「whiskey.」 English borrowed usquebaugh from Irish Gaelic uisce beatha and Scottish Gaelic uisge beatha, a compound whose members descend from Old Irish uisce, 「water,」 and bethad, 「of life,」 and mean literally 「water of life.」 Uisce comes from the Indo-European form udskio- (without e or o ).
威士忌、伏特加和水看上去是不相容的結合體。不過，所有這三個詞都共享一個普通的印歐語系詞根wed- 「水，濕」。 它們之間目前形式上的差異可部分地由下列事實解釋，即在某些條件下印歐語系的字母e 可以 o 的形式出現， 或者e 和 o 都可以消失。 Water 是一個英國本國語， 該詞經過史前普通日耳曼詞water 而可追溯到印歐語系的後綴形式 wodo(r) ，帶有一字母 o。 Vodka是從俄語中借來的一個詞， vodka 是 voda 的小詞，意思是「水」。 Voda 可追溯到印歐語系後綴形式 woda-。 Whiskey是 usquebaugh 的縮寫形式，該詞意思是「威士忌」。 英語從愛爾蘭蓋爾語uisce beatha 及蘇格蘭蓋爾語 uisge beatha 借用了 usquebaugh 一詞， 這是個其語詞成分源自古愛爾蘭語uisce 「水」及 bethad 「生活的」復合詞， 字面意思是「生命之水」。 Uisce 源自印歐語形式 udskio- （不帶有 e 或 o )
