Noun

IPA: /ˈhɔkˌʃin(ə)/, /ˈhɔksən(ə)/ (note: non-remodelled), /ˈhɔksnə/ (note: non-remodelled), /ˈhuks-/ (note: non-remodelled) Forms: hokschynes [plural], *hoxene [alternative]
Etymology: Inherited from Old English hōhsinu, from Proto-West Germanic *hą̄hasinu, from Proto-Germanic *hanhasinwō; equivalent to hough (“heel”) + synwe (“sinew”). In all attested forms, the second element has been remodelled after schyne (“shin”), though forms without this remodelling survived in Modern English dialects and the verb hoxen.
