"uton" meaning in Old English

See uton in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adverb

IPA: /ˈu.ton/
Etymology: Usually said to originate from a form of witan (“to know”). Ringe explains it as an allegro form of PWGmc 1pl. *(ga)wītum (“we're going, we'll go”) which escaped the North Sea Germanic displacement of 1pl. endings because speakers reinterpreted it as a separate word. Head templates: {{ang-adv}} uton
