CANONICAL RELATIONSHIP CLAIMS
EDGES THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
fjándi → *fi(j)and-
Old Norse → Proto-Germanic · inheritance
- SOUND
- Old Norse fjándi and plural fjándr continue the inherited Germanic nd-agent formation after North Germanic vowel, glide, ending, and inflectional developments.
- MEANING
- The already lexicalized one-who-hates formation is inherited as an ordinary enemy noun; demonic, pagan-god, and derogatory branches develop inside the attested Old Norse semantic history.
