κονδός κόνδυλος *gnew- a bundle; knot gniáužti to close one's hand कन्द

noun masculine an-stem joint, bone Probably from a Proto-Indo-European *ǵnu-gon-, itself potentially related to *ǵónu (‘knee’). The nature of the relation of the root to Lithuanian gniáužti (‘to close one's hand’) is unclear. Older theories derived the root from Proto-Indo-European *gnew- (‘a bundle; knot’), extended from the root *gen- (‘to pinch; clench; ball up’), with the suffix *-kô used in some names of body parts, and compared with Ancient Greek κονδός (kondós), Ancient Greek κόνδυλος (kóndulos), Sanskrit कन्द (kanda). In any case, compare Italian gnocco.
