Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/panningaz

Etymology
Of origin. Many regard the forms without the medial *-t- or *-d- as the older ones because the 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 loans (🇨🇬) do not show the reflex of a medial obstruent, which makes it difficult to connect with (🇨🇬) or their possible etymon,. The second part of the word is probably. The first part is possibly a borrowing of one of these words: Vennemann suggests another possibility, following from his (controversial) Punic superstrate theory: that *paning may derive from Carthaginian traders' jargon use of to mean "coin", as almost all Carthaginian coins depicted the face of Tanit (a goddess who was herself known as the "face of Baal"), and even the second-most common motif was the face of Melqart; Vennemann further speculates that the variants *panning and *panding preserved the bimoric nature of the Punic word.
 * , with a semantic shift explained as a penny being a "coin with a concave form" (per De Vries/De Tollenaere), or
 * , because cloth was often used as means of payment.
