*audanaz
Runic: ᚨᚢᛞᚨᚾᚨᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈɑu̯.ðɑ.nɑz/adjective · a-stem
Meanings
granted, given; assigned, allotted, ordained
Etymology
Past participle of a lost Proto-Germanic verb **audaną (‘to grant’) from the same base as *audaz, preserved only in participial/adjectival reflexes; compare Old English ēaden, Old Saxon ōdan, and Old Norse auðinn (Kroonen 2013: 41; Orel 2003: 28; Bosworth & Toller 2014: s.v. eádan). If *audaz belongs with the verbal base underlying Proto-Indo-European *h₁ówHdʰr̥, the semantic development may have been ‘give milk, provide’ > ‘provide, endow’ > ‘grant’; see *audaz.
