Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Derived from the Proto-Indo-European verbal root *keh₂u-, related to Lithuanian kuvetis (“to be ashamed”).[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]*hauniz
Inflection
[edit]The descendants differ on whether the word was inflected as an a-stem or as an i-stem. Old High German has an i-stem, Old English an a-stem, and the Gothic nominative (the only attested form) could be either. However, it's more probable for an i-stem (a relatively rare class) to become an a-stem (very common) than the other way around, so it was likely an i-stem originally.
