verbStrong class 7cto take, to seizeto capture, to catchThere are two prevailing theories for this etymology. One is from Early Proto-Germanic *ph2n(é)ḱ-e/o-, from Proto-Indo-European *ph2-n (é)-ḱ- ~ *ph2-n̥-ḱ-, a nasal-infix present of root *peh2ḱ- (‘to join, attach; agreement, settlement’) Rix et al. 2001. This would mean it is related to *fōgijaną (‘to fit or join together’). Another theory is Kroonen’s (2013) univerbation theory of Proto-Indo-European *h2pó (‘; off, away’’) + *h2n(e)ḱ- (‘to reach, attain’), yielding Early Proto-Germanic *pon(e)k-e/o- (compare the formation of *fanē (‘from’) from *h2pó). In this case, it would be related to *bringaną (‘to bring’). Related to *fangōną (‘to catch, capture’).
