enda

enda

1. first-person singular aorist of end

From Proto-Finnic *häntä, which is derived from *hän (by reanalysis of the partitive singular as a new stem), compare Finnish hän (“he, she”). Cognate to Livonian eņtš (“own, self”). See also enese.

enda (genitive enda, partitive end)

1. self, own, -self

There is no nominative (ise is used as one). The singular forms can also be used in the plural.

• enese

enda (third person singular past indicative endaði, third person plural past indicative endað, supine endað)

2. not (To no degree)

Ultimately from enn þá. Possibly influenced by or borrowed from Danish endda (“even!”). Cognate with Danish endda (“even!”), Swedish ändå (“yet”), Norwegian Nynorsk endå.

1. "which is natural, since ..." (the first clause comes as a logical conclusion of the second clause)
