Etymology
Ultimately from, and cognate to 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬, though reconstructing a Proto-Germanic form of this etymon is difficult; it may possibly have been a consonant stem (from an earlier *sōwel with unexpected full-grade, whence the Gothic form) or  (from an earlier *sōwul with zero-grade, whence the Old English (remodeled as an a-stem) and Old Norse form (remodeled as an feminine ō-stem); one can see Ringe 2017 and Kroonen 2011 and 2013 for details. In the Indo-European root lies also the origin of , as well as 🇨🇬, which both of the Gothic terms translate.

The term was an l-/n-stem in Proto-Indo-European, and Kroonen (2013) considers it likely that the Gothic term was too, as well as the Proto-Germanic form (which he reconstructs as a neuter heteroclitic stem ), thus viewing the dative form as the regular dative form of the present lemma as part of a declension similar to the one of. Otherwise, (attested twice in Mark) has generally been seen as a dative form of a neuter an-stem whose nominative form would be identical to the nominative of  (see e. g. Kroonen 2011, Lehmann 1986, Streitberg s. 132, and especially Ringe 2017 with ref.).
