kanis in Proto-Celtic

[Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Sometimes said to be from *knyo-, from Proto-Indo-European *kn̥-i-, from *ken- (“to begin, arise”), but this leaves a wide semantic gap. It could instead be from a non-Indo-European substrate language.
