editEtymology
editDative of *ᚲᚢᚾᛁᛗᚢᛞᚢᛉ (*kunimuduʀ /Kunimunduʀ/), from Proto-Germanic *Kunjamunduz, a compound of *kunją (“family, kin”) and *mundō (“protection”). Cognate with Latin Cunimundus, Old High German Chunimunt, Old English Cynemund. The u-stem dative singular -ᛁᚢ (-iu) comes from Proto-Germanic *-iwi, with a loss of the final *-i. For another example of non-writing of a nasal before a homorganic consonant, see ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᚨᚲᚢᛞᛟ (raginakudo /raginakundō/).
