"neorxnawang" meaning in Old English

See neorxnawang in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈne͜orks.nɑˌwɑnɡ/, [ˈne͜orˠks.nɑˌwɑŋɡ]
Etymology: From neorxna (an element of unknown provenance) + wang (“field”). Many attempts have been made to explain the etymology of neorxna, but little agreement has been reached; the available evidence probably does not permit a definite answer. Selected explanations * An early attempt at etymologising the first element of this word is Edward Lye's 18th-century derivation from an adjective *neorxen, from ne (“no”) + weorc (“work”). However, neither the medial /s/ or the final /a/ can be explained without straining the bounds of formal plausibility. Additionally, one would expect weorc to be negated with un-, not ne; compare e.g. unweorclīċ (“not work-ready”). * Roberts derives neorxna from *nēoryxena, the genitive plural of hypothetical *nēoryxe (literally “garden of the dead”), from nēo (“corpse”) + ryxe, variant of rysċe (“rush”); connecting this to the "reeds and rushes" of Isaiah 35:7. * Gostenfell instead considers it to contain a compound of eorcen (“shining”) + stan (“stone”), with initial n- through metanalysis. However, this hypothesis would require a level of phonetic reduction rarely seen in Old English. * A suggestion once "almost universally approved" connects nēo (“corpse”) and an unattested cognate of Gothic 𐍂𐍉𐌷𐍃𐌽𐍃 (rōhsns, “chamber”), this would form *nēorīehsn (literally “hall of the dead”), which could reduce to neorxen- without undue difficulty, but 𐍂𐍉𐌷𐍃𐌽𐍃 is entirely isolated within Germanic, making the supposition of an Old English cognate very risky. * For discussion of the innumerable other proposed etymologies, see the references listed below.

  "etymology_text": "From neorxna (an element of unknown provenance) + wang (“field”). Many attempts have been made to explain the etymology of neorxna, but little agreement has been reached; the available evidence probably does not permit a definite answer.\nSelected explanations\n* An early attempt at etymologising the first element of this word is Edward Lye's 18th-century derivation from an adjective *neorxen, from ne (“no”) + weorc (“work”). However, neither the medial /s/ or the final /a/ can be explained without straining the bounds of formal plausibility. Additionally, one would expect weorc to be negated with un-, not ne; compare e.g. unweorclīċ (“not work-ready”).\n* Roberts derives neorxna from *nēoryxena, the genitive plural of hypothetical *nēoryxe (literally “garden of the dead”), from nēo (“corpse”) + ryxe, variant of rysċe (“rush”); connecting this to the \"reeds and rushes\" of Isaiah 35:7.\n* Gostenfell instead considers it to contain a compound of eorcen (“shining”) + stan (“stone”), with initial n- through metanalysis. However, this hypothesis would require a level of phonetic reduction rarely seen in Old English.\n* A suggestion once \"almost universally approved\" connects nēo (“corpse”) and an unattested cognate of Gothic 𐍂𐍉𐌷𐍃𐌽𐍃 (rōhsns, “chamber”), this would form *nēorīehsn (literally “hall of the dead”), which could reduce to neorxen- without undue difficulty, but 𐍂𐍉𐌷𐍃𐌽𐍃 is entirely isolated within Germanic, making the supposition of an Old English cognate very risky.\n* For discussion of the innumerable other proposed etymologies, see the references listed below.",
