S.v. šākuu̯a- 'eye' (Anat. cognates: CLuw. tāu̯a- 'eye', HLuw. tawa/i- 'eye', Lyc. *tewe- 'eye' (coll. pl. tawa), ñtewe 'facing, opposite, toward', from Proto-Anatolian *sṓgʷo- via PIE *sókʷ-o- (cf. PGerm. sexʷan 'to see'). An alternative proposal is a connection with the root *h₃ekʷ- 'see' with an s-mobile, but this is somewhat awkward for the Anatolian-internal evidence.
