*tinnaną
Runic: ᛏᛁᚾᚨᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈtin.nɑ.nɑ̃/verb · Strong class 3
Meanings
to burn
Etymology
From Pre-Germanic *dendʰ-n-e-ti, from a Germanic root with quasi-Indo-European *dendʰ- (‘to burn, kindle’), of unclear ultimate origin, as solid cognates outside of Germanic are lacking. Osthoff suggests Proto-Indo-European *deh₂w- (‘kindle, burn’) (compare Ancient Greek δαίω (daíō) (daíō, ‘to kindle’)), but Pokorny rejects this.
