Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/smeukaną
Proto-Germanic
editEtymology
editFrom Proto-Indo-European *smewgʰ- cognate with Ancient Greek σμὐχω (smukhō, “to burn”) and Lithuanian smáugiu, smáugti (“to choke”). Kroonen assumes the verb was back-formed to the iterative *smukkōną - *smukōną which explains the 'k' instead of the expected 'g'.[1]
