Etymology edit

Inherited from Proto-West Germanic *wunēn, from Proto-Germanic *wunāną. The expected vowel sound would be /o/ (see wonne), the raised quality of the vowel may be evidence of outside influence or due to the influence of initial /ʋ/.

Pronunciation edit

Verb edit

wuune (third-person singular wonnt, past tense wonnde, past participle gewonnd, auxiliary hann) (German-based spelling)
