These belong to the Germanic word-family represented by *fanhaną (“to catch, seize”).\nThe deeper origin of the Proto-Germanic verb is uncertain. It has been derived either from a nasal-infix formation of *peh₂ḱ- (“to secure, attach, strengthen”), or from a Pre-Germanic formation ultimately involving *h₂pó (“off, away”) and *h₂n(e)ḱ- (“to reach, attain”).",

These belong to the Germanic word-family represented by *fanhaną (“to catch, seize”).\nThe deeper origin of the Proto-Germanic verb is uncertain. It has been derived either from a nasal-infix formation of *peh₂ḱ- (“to secure, attach, strengthen”), or from a Pre-Germanic formation ultimately involving *h₂pó (“off, away”) and *h₂n(e)ḱ- (“to reach, attain”).",
