Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/tiną

Etymology
Of origin, but would have likely evolved from Pre-Proto-Germanic, which Orel derives from ; see 🇨🇬 for more. Another theory takes the word as a borrowing from a pre-Indo-European of western Europe, based on the tin bronze technology of the area in pre-Indo-European times.

Likely related to 🇨🇬 (itself a hapax legomenon). The potential connection to 🇨🇬 (whence 🇨🇬) suffers from many formal issues.

Noun

 * 1) tin metal
