Etymology

Cognate with Lithuanian ganà (“enough, rather, fairly”).

Adverb

edit

gana

  1. enough

Noun

edit

gana m

  1. genitive singular of gans

Lithuanian

edit

Etymology

edit

Of unclear origin.[1] According to Derksen, from a Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰen- (“to flourish, swell; enough, numerous”),[2] which he appears to consider the same as *gʷʰen- (“to strike, slay”) (whence giñti (“drive, chase”)), perhaps via semantic shifts "slay" > "booty (from spoils of war)" > "flourish". Cognate with Latvian gana (“enough, rather, fairly”),[3] Old Church Slavonic гонѣти (goněti, “to suffice”); outside of Balto-Slavic, compare tentatively Sanskrit घन (ghaná, “dense, thick”), Sanskrit आहनस् (āhanás, “thriving, full”), Old Armenian յոգն (yogn, “plenty”), Proto-West Germanic *gant (“whole, complete”).
