*angwāną
Runic: ᚨᚾᚷᚹᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈɑŋʷ.ɡʷɑː.nɑ̃/verb · Weak class 3
Meanings
- to be narrow, tight
- to become narrow, constricted
Etymology
From the stem *angw- of *anguz + *-āną, from an old Proto-Indo-European proterokinetic inflection *h₂énǵʰ-u-s ~ *h₂n̥ǵʰ-éw-s (Kroonen 2013: 28–29; Ringe 2017: 111). A transparent deadjectival formation, thus literally ‘to be/become narrow’; for the deeper and disputed prehistory of the Weak class 3 suffix, see *-āną.
