Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *ḱent- (“to reach, sting”) (alternatively reconstructed as *kent-). While Kroonen adduces no cognates,^[1] Orel compares Ancient Greek κεντέω (kentéō, “to sting, goad”), which is supported by Beekes; see the Greek for more cognates.^[2]

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ˈxin.θɑ.nɑ̃/

Verb

*hinþaną^[2]
