Etymology
Kroonen notes a possible derivation from, genitive *ḱwitnós, a heteroclitic byform of. The oblique stem, used to form *ḱwitnós would create a voiceless geminate stop tt assuming, which would be reduced to a single t after the heavy first syllable once the consonantism was analogically extended to other cases.
