Kno  on plants, bud, pommel of a sword, knot, loop’;  *cnopp,,  knop, ‘button, bud’;  knop, ‘bud, button, knot on plants.’  *knuppa- is wanting; under  its graded form  *knaupa- was assumed, which would represent *knauppa-, for the stem loses its final b, as is shown in  knübel, , ‘knuckle,’ as well as  *cnobba,  knobbe,  knob;  also  knobbel, , ‘knot, bulb, weal,’ and. Besides the words hitherto adduced, from which we may infer an old u root ( especially ), there are some abnormal forms, knappr, ‘button, pommel,’  cnœp,  knap. ,, , and.   ,, ‘gristle,’ from knorpel-, knorbel-, bein knospel, ‘cartilage.’ It cannot be certainly decided whether the word is based on a  knuzba- or *knaúrba-; the former is the more probable for grammatical reasons;  knobbel,  knusperknaken, ‘cartilaginous bone.’   ,, ‘knotty excrescence,’ from knorre, , with the  variant knûre, , ‘knot, protuberance’ (on trees, the body, &c.); knûre also signifies ‘rock, cliff, summit’; in the sense of ‘cuff, push,’ it is connected with  knüsen (from *knusjan), ‘to push, strike.’ For the other meanings too we must probably proceed from a  word with s (z), as the  forms indicate,  , ‘knob on a loaf,’ Swiss knus, ‘knot, excrescence.’  knar, ‘knot in wood,’  knarre, with the variant knorre, ‘knot, excrescence.’ —  has only the  chniurig, ‘knotty, stout, firm,’ derived from *knûr. —  and.   ,, ‘snag,’ from and  knorz, ‘excrescence, knot’;  knort,  knórt.
