*kneygʷʰ-to bend, to droopconiveoto close up the eyes; to connive, turn a blind eye
verbStrong class 1to bowFrom Proto-Indo-European *kneygʷʰ- (‘to bend, to droop’). Perhaps cognate with Latin coniveo (‘to close up the eyes; to connive, turn a blind eye’) due to matching phonetics, but the semantic gap is wide.
