"ᛋᛒᛡ" meaning in All languages combined

See ᛋᛒᛡ on Wiktionary

Noun [Proto-Norse]

Forms: sbᴀ [romanization], spā [romanization]
Etymology: From Proto-Germanic *spahō, either as a feminine noun meaning ‘prophecy, prediction’, or as an inflected form of Proto-Germanic *spahōną (“I predict, I foresee”). Since the Old Norse verb spá can take the genitive, it can not be said which this word is. Ultimately, however, the word is derived from Proto-Indo-European *speḱ- (“to look”). A more primitive Scandinavian form should have been *ᛊᛈᚨᚺᚢ (*spahu). In its attested form, the word is young enough to have undergone loss of medial /-h-/, as well as syncope, and possibly even u-umlaut /a/ > /ǫ/.
