verbWeak class 1to shine, to blink, to flashto cheat, to deceiveLikely from *blankaz (‘shining, white’) + *-(i)janą(causative suffix forming Weak class 1 verbs). It is less likely to be derived from *blinkaną, as its root, bʰleyǵ-, would give *blaikijaną as its causative formation, rather than *blankijaną (though the possibility that it was created via analogy is still possible).
