*wankōną
Runic: ᚹᚨᚾᚲᛟᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈwɑŋ.kɔː.nɑ̃/verb · Weak class 2
Meanings
to sway, to waver
Etymology
According to Kroonen, a nasal-infixed derivative from the verb *weganą (‘to move’). Orel prefers a connection to *wenkjanana, which he derives from Proto-Indo-European *weng- (‘to bow, bend’), and compares to Sanskrit वङ्गति (vaṅgati) (vaṅgati, ‘to limp, walk’), Lithuanian véngti (‘to swerve, avoid’).
