"einir" meaning in Old Norse

See einir in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Disputed: * Traditionally, and according to most sources, inherited from Proto-Germanic *ainijaz or *jainijaz, perhaps further from a Proto-Indo-European acrostatic n-stem noun *h₁óy-n- ~ *h₁éy-n-s (via collective(?) thematic derivative *h₁oy-n-yo-). Classical Latin iūniperus and (barely identified) Hittite 𒂊𒅀𒀭 (e-i̯a-an /⁠ei̯an-⁠/, “(a kind of) evergreen tree (yew?)”) are often compared, though assigning Proto-Indo-European precursors is difficult and may rather give way to substrate origin. * Given the asynchronisms of the above, alternatively the Old Norse was borrowed from Vulgar Latin, via a form *jēniperus whence attested ziniperus (perhaps specifically a Western Romance form like *jēniberus, with /b/ for /p/), reinterpreted as a compound with ber (“berry”) for the juniper berry. In this case, the apparent West Germanic cognates, limited to Middle Low German *eyni (known from various derivatives) and Middle High German *eine (modern German Einbeer-baum), are simply borrowings from Old Norse or one of its descendants.

  "etymology_text": "Disputed:\n* Traditionally, and according to most sources, inherited from Proto-Germanic *ainijaz or *jainijaz, perhaps further from a Proto-Indo-European acrostatic n-stem noun *h₁óy-n- ~ *h₁éy-n-s (via collective(?) thematic derivative *h₁oy-n-yo-). Classical Latin iūniperus and (barely identified) Hittite 𒂊𒅀𒀭 (e-i̯a-an /⁠ei̯an-⁠/, “(a kind of) evergreen tree (yew?)”) are often compared, though assigning Proto-Indo-European precursors is difficult and may rather give way to substrate origin.\n* Given the asynchronisms of the above, alternatively the Old Norse was borrowed from Vulgar Latin, via a form *jēniperus whence attested ziniperus (perhaps specifically a Western Romance form like *jēniberus, with /b/ for /p/), reinterpreted as a compound with ber (“berry”) for the juniper berry. In this case, the apparent West Germanic cognates, limited to Middle Low German *eyni (known from various derivatives) and Middle High German *eine (modern German Einbeer-baum), are simply borrowings from Old Norse or one of its descendants.",
