In summary

PIE word *gʷṓws Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese boi, from Latin bovem (“cow, bull”) (probably through a Vulgar Latin form *boem), accusative of bōs, itself a borrowing from some Osco-Umbrian language dialect, from Proto-Italic *gʷōs, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws. Compare Galician boi. Doublet of bife.
