Eil Prop. a ending in -ana- of a, which only appears, however, as a  , meaning ‘to possess,’ throughout the  group;   áigan, (áihan),  eiga,  âgan, ‘to have’ ( to owe),  in  âhte, in  ought, whence also  âgnian,  to own. The root aig (aih), from pre- aik, preserved in these words, has been connected with the  root îç, ‘to possess, have as one's own,’ the  of which, îçâná-s (îçâna-s), agrees exactly with  eigan,  *aigans. In  (which see) we have a  formed with a dental suffix ( aihts, ‘property, possession,’  êht).  ,, ‘isle,’ from eilant, einlant(d), , ‘land lying by itself, island’ (  eilif, from  einlif, see ). here has the meaning ‘solitary, alone,’ as in,. land, and eiland, are not allied; they belong to ; see the latter.  ,, ‘to hasten, hurry,’ from the  and  îlen,  îlen (îllen from îljan); akin to  ĭle,  ile,  il ( iljar), ‘sole of the foot.’ If the l be accepted as a , as it often is in other words, we obtain the widely diffused root ī̆, ‘to go,’ as the source of the cognates;   ἱέναι  ire,  root i, ‘to go,’  iti,  eíti, ‘to go.’ See. , see.  ,, ‘pail, bucket,’ from the eimber, ein-ber, ,  eimbar, einbar, , , ‘pail’; corresponds to  êmbar (êmmar),  emmer,  ā̆mbor, ombor, , ‘pail.’ Apparently a compound of ein- ( ains) and a noun formed from the root ber ( φερ,  fer), ‘to carry,’ which is discussed under , ; hence ‘a vessel to be carried by one person’?, or rather ‘a vessel with a handle’?. In reality, however, the words cited are only popular corruptions, which were suggested by ( zwibar) as well as by  sumbirî(n); for undoubtedly  ambar,  ombor, are the older forms, as is also proved by the borrowed words,  ąborŭ,  wumbaris, ‘pail’; in that case it would be connected with  ἀμφορά. Note too the diminutives amprî ( ęmmer?),  ęmbren, ‘pail,’ formed from  sumdbirî(n).  ,, from the  and  ein, ‘one,’ also the   even  in  and ;   én,  een,  ân ( one, as a  a, an, as  ),  einn,  ains. The common to  for ‘one,’  ainos, which is  cognate with  ûnus ( commûnis and, ‘common’), and also with  óen,  inŭ,  vënas,  ains, ‘one.’ From this old , which strangely enough is unknown to East Aryan (in which the cognate terms  êka, Zend aéva, ‘one,’ occur),   has preserved οἰνός, ‘one,’ and οἴνη, ‘the one on dice, ace.’ See ,. — , ‘one another,’ thus even in einander,  (in the oblique cases) einander,, ‘one another’ — a senseless combination of the   with an oblique case of ; e.g.  sie sind ein anderen ungelîh, ‘they are unlike one another’ ( the one to the other), zeinanderen quëdan, ‘to say to one another’ ( one to the others), for which, however, by a remarkable construction, zeinen einanderen may be used in  —  ,, ‘one-berry, true-love,’ simply ; the assumption that the word is a corruption of juniperus is not necessary in order to explain the word. einer. —   ,, ‘simplicity, silliness,’ from einvalt, einvalte (-vęlte), ,  einfaltî, , ‘simplicity, silliness’;   ainfalþei, , ‘silliness, good nature’ — an abstract noun from  ainfalþs, ‘silly,’  and  einfalt, ‘silly,’ whence  einfaltîg,  einveltec, , ‘silly.’ See. —   , see. —   ,, ‘entrails, bowels, intestines,’ from ĭngeweide ( innoþ from *inwâþ), , ‘bowels,’ for which geweide, , also meaning ‘food,’ chiefly occurs;   for  ĭn, ‘within, inside’;  weida, ‘food, pasture.’ Therefore  must have meant  ‘the food that has been eaten,’ and afterwards ‘the organs at work in digesting it’;  also , ‘to disembowel.’ See. —  ,, ‘agreed, sole, only,’ from einec(g),  einag, , ‘sole, only’; a  of. —  ,, from the  einœde, einœte, einôte, , ‘solitude, desert,’  einôti, , ‘solitude, desert.’ By being based on , the  and  word received its present form; properly, however, -ôti in the  word is a suffix ;  *ainôdus ( mannisk-ôdus, ‘benevolence’) is
