Etymology
From, from , from. Cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.

The etymology seems rather secure despite the irregular sound change from *d- to *n-. The original d may be seen in dialectal ; compare the more recently formed.

The assimilation is most frequently explained as from the zero-grade *dm- > *nm-, with subsequent generalization onto the full-grade stem. Compare 🇨🇬. However, the only zero-grade derivative actually attested in Lithuanian, < *dm̥-st-i-, lacks this particular sound change.
