Reconstruction:Proto-Italic/knuks

Etymology
From a root *knu- also found in 🇨🇬 (source of 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬) and 🇨🇬 (source of 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬). Based on the form of the nouns, semantic category, and the restriction of the root to western European branches, it has been argued to be of non-Indo-European origin. De Vaan suggests that it is related to 🇨🇬, and cites the irregular alternations between and  as additional evidence for  origin.

Noun

 * 1) nut
