"knuks" meaning in Proto-Italic

See knuks in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: From a root *knu- also found in Proto-Celtic *knūs (source of Irish cnó, Welsh cnau) and Proto-Germanic *hnuts (source of English nut, German Nuss). Based on the form of the nouns, semantic category, and the restriction of the root to western European branches, it has been argued to be of non-Indo-European origin. De Vaan suggests that it is related to Latin nūgae (“trifles”), and cites the irregular alternations between Latin nux and nūgae as additional evidence for substrate origin.
