Etymology 1
. The heteroclitic (r/n) inflection is rather archaic (as also seen in and ), descending from, but no secure Proto-Indo-European origin for  can be found. De Vaan and Lubotsky tentatively support Steinbauer's derivation from ; this is semantically attractive, but the hypothetical change from *-nw- to *-(n)m- from Proto-Indo-European to Latin is strange.

Noun

 * 1) thigh
 * 2) thighbone
 * 3)  the space between the grooves of a triglyph
