Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: whynen

Ereditato da inglese antico: hwīnan

Affine norse antico: hvína

Affine islandese: hvína

Affine norvegese nynorsk: kvina

Affine svedese: vina

Affine danese: 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”)).
