*blewwaną

Runic: ᛒᛚᛖᚹᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈblew.wɑ.nɑ̃/

verb · Strong class 2

Meanings

to beat

Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlewh₁-e/o-, from root *bʰlewh₁- though there are no other secure Indo-European cognates. For theoretical form, compare *kewwaną < *ǵyewh₁-, *brewwaną < *brewh₁-. Derivations from a root starting in *ml- seem an unlikely phonological stretch.
