Reconstruction:Proto-West Germanic/dannā
Proto-West Germanic
editEtymology
editUncertain; possibly from Proto-Germanic *dannǭ, from earlier *danwǭ,[1][2] cognate with Hittite 𒄑𒋫𒈾𒀀𒌑 (GIŠta-na-a-ú /tanau/, “a type of tree”),[3] and perhaps Sanskrit धनु (dhanu, “bow”), धन्वन् (dhanvan, “bow”) and Proto-Celtic *tannos (“green oak”).[4] Alternatively related to *dani (“woodland pasture”),[5] or borrowed from a substrate language.[6]
