*handuz
Runic: ᚺᚨᚾᛞᚢᛉ Pronunciation: /ˈxɑn.duz/noun · feminine · u-stem
Meanings
hand
Etymology
Uncertain. Conjectured to be from pre-Germanic *(k/ḱ)ontús, related to and possibly derived from the strong verb *hinþaną (‘to reach for, obtain’). Alternatively, it has been suggested to derive from Proto-Indo-European *ḱómt ~ *ḱm̥tés (‘hand’), assuming this is also the source of *déḱm̥. Finally, it is often considered of non-Indo-European origin.
