"funkōn" meaning in Proto-West Germanic

See funkōn in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Etymology: Unknown; presumably from Proto-Germanic *funkōną, from earlier paradigm *funkᵏōþi ~ *fungunanþi, from pre-Proto-Germanic *punk-nā́-ti ~ *punk-un-ánti, iterative to *finkan (“to sparkle, burn”). A connection to Proto-Indo-European *péh₂wr̥ (“fire”) is considered unlikely. Equivalent to *funkō (“spark”) + *-ōn.
