| This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “How do we get from /fɛð.əɹ.stəʊn.hɔː/ to /fæn.ʃɔː/? It is probably a result of irregular elison/reduction of fɛðə(ɹ)stəʊn > fɛɹstən > fɛən > fæn. Then, ʃɔː is just an irregular development from hɔː. I don't have any way to verify though.” |
