Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de anglès mitjà: whynen

Heretat de anglès antic: hwīnan

Cognat amb nòrdic antic: hvína

Cognat amb noruec nynorsk: kvina

Cognat amb suec: vina

Cognat amb danès: hvine

In summary

From Middle English whynen, hwinen, whinen, from Old English hwīnan (“to rush, to whizz, to squeal, to whine”), from Proto-West Germanic *hwīnan, from Proto-Germanic *hwīnaną, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱwey- (“to hiss, whistle, whisper”). Cognate with Old Norse hvína, whence Icelandic hvína, Norwegian Nynorsk kvina, Swedish vina, and Danish hvine. Despite the strong similarity in sound and meaning, not related with German weinen, Dutch wenen, from Proto-Germanic *wainōną (for which see dialectal English ween (“to weep, lament”)).
