Noun [Proto-Germanic]

IPA: /ˈspɛː.nuz/
Etymology: Uncertain. Traditionally compared with Ancient Greek σφήν (sphḗn, “wedge”) and Sanskrit स्फ्य (sphyá, “flat piece of wood used as a ritual sword”), for a tentative Proto-Indo-European *(s)peH- (“to cut off; chip, shaving, log, length of wood”). However, this connection is phonologically impossible, and all of the supposed cognates are themselves of disputed origin.
