Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/fimf
Proto-GermanicEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Pre-Germanic *pémpe, with an irregular consonant change from Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe, perhaps influenced by the initial *p (as also seen in Gaulish pempe (< Proto-Celtic *kʷenkʷe) and Oscan/Umbrian 𐌐𐌖𐌌𐌐𐌄 (pumpe) (< Proto-Italic *kʷenkʷe)). Probably related to Proto-Germanic *funstiz (“fist”) and *fingraz (“finger”).
