===Etymology===
Of {{uncertain|la|nocap=1}} origin.
Perhaps from {{der|la|ine-pro|*gʰabʰl-||fork, branch of tree}} due to the similarity of a hawks claws to a pitchfork; compare {{cog|goh|gabila}}, {{m|goh|gabala||sparrow hawk}}.
 
One theory, preferred by De Vaan, derives the word from {{inh|la|ine-pro||*gowh₂-i-|t=shouter}}, seemingly from either {{m|ine-pro|*geH-|t=to sing, cry}} or {{m|ine-pro|*gewH-|t=to call, cry out}}, and adduces as cognates {{cog|sa|गु|t=to proclaim}}, {{cog|grc|γοάω|t=to groan, weep}}, {{cog|sla-pro|*gȍvorъ|t=grumble, talk}}, and perhaps {{cog|ang|ċīeġan|t=to call}}. He also mentions an alternative connection to {{m|la|gaius|t=jaybird}}, via an independent {{onomatopoeia|la|nocap=1}} root in {{der|la|itc-pro||*gā̆-}}.<ref>{{R:itc:EDL|page=256|head=gā̆via}}</ref>
 
PerhapsAnother theory derives the word from {{der|la|ine-pro|*gʰabʰl-||t=fork, branch of tree}} (due to the similarity of a hawkshawk's claws to a pitchfork), from {{m|ine-pro|*gʰeh₁bʰ-|t=to grab, take}}; compare {{cog|goh|gabila}}, {{m|goh|gabala||t=sparrow hawk}}.
 
===Pronunciation===
* {{a|Classical}} {{la-IPA|/ˈɡaː.wi.a/|lang=lagāvia}}
 
===Noun===
{{la-noun|gāvia|gāviae|f|first<1>}}
 
# common [[gull]] and [[seagull]] (any kind of [[gull]], generically a kind of [[bird]])
 
====Usage notes====
The identity of the ''gāvia'' in Classical Latin is uncertain, possibly the [[gull]] and the [[seagull]]. Modern taxonomic Latin applies the term ''gāvia''{{taxfmt|Gavia|genus}} to the [[loon]] ([[diver]]), but Classical Latin called this bird {{m|la|mergus}}.
