nounfeminineōn-stema joint or articulated part of the body, especially the ankle or heel; probably also the nape of the neckFrom Proto-Indo-European *h₂eng-yéh₂, from *h₂eng-Kroonen 2013: 29, s.v. *ankjōn- with the -i- from Siever's Law due to the heavy root. The weak ōn-stem inflection is probably secondary within Germanic, where jōn-stems formed a subtype of the productive feminine ōn-stems and inherited feminine vowel stems were readily transferred to this declension Fulk 2018: 171–72. Particularly close is Vedic Sanskrit अङ्ग; related formations include Sanskrit अङ्गुरि and Latin angulus, while Ancient Greek ἀγκών belongs to the closely related *h₂enk- root Beekes 2010: 12–13, s.v. ἀγκύλοςde Vaan 2008: 42–43Kroonen 2013: 28–29, s.vv. *angan-, *ankjōn-Kümmel 2016: 223Rix et al. 2001: 268 . The exact preform is not entirely secure: *h₂eng- may represent a voiced variant beside *h₂enk-, and Kümmel 2016: 223 suggests that the Germanic *ank- forms may continue an inherited root variant represented directly by Vedic अङ्ग rather than simply belonging to the *h₂enk- group.
