Enk  directly with. It is more probable that anksztiraí, ‘measles (of swine), cockchafer grubs,’  węgry, ‘measles (of swine),’ are  cognates.   , (unknown to ), from the   ęnke,, ‘farm servant, bind,’  ęncho, *ancheo (*ankjo), , ‘servant’; corresponds only to  inka and  enke, ‘servant.’ It is uncertain whether the word is  cognate with  ancilla, ‘maid-servant,’ since  c would be normally changed into  h or g; perhaps, however, it is based on the Aryan root ank or ang.    (1.),, ‘ankle,’ from ęnkel, ,  ęnckil, anchal, ; numerous  variants obscure the etymology. ǫkkla,, ǫncleów,  ( ankle),  anclau,  anchlâo, ‘anklebone,’ seem to be modifications of the primary form, but do they suggest any connection with  (  ondcleów with oncleów)?. There is a difficulty in determining the relation of ęnchil, anchal, to anchlâo, and their further connection with  anke,, ‘joint of the foot, nape’ (even now  in  and  dialects is the term for ‘nape, neck’),  ęncha,  (from ankia), ‘thigh, tibia’ ( anche, ‘reed, mouthpiece’). Perhaps allied to án̄ga, ‘limb,’ an̄gúri, ‘finger.’

 (2.),, from the  ęnenkel, ęninkel, , late  ęninchilî(n), , ‘grandson.’ Since even in  the forms ęnikel and ęniklîn appear,   is most closely connected with a form enekel, in which the medial e was syncopated. The termination inklîn is frequently found as a diminutive suffix;  scipincel, ‘small ship,’ liþincel, ‘small limb,’  lęwinchilî(n), ‘small lion,’ huoninchilî(n), ‘chicken.’ Hence  ęninchilî is a diminutive of,  ano ( *ana,  *anin-s), ‘grandfather,’ and signifies  ‘little grandfather, grandfather's child’;  the similar evolution of meaning in  avunculus (see ). In the non- languages there is probably another corresponding term besides the word cited under —  vŭnukŭ, ‘grandson.’   , prefix, ‘forth, from, out, away,’ from ent-,  int-, an unaccented prefix corresponding to the accented ant-, which is of the same origin. In words with initial f, ent- even in  becomes emp-, hence  (from ),  (from ), ,  int-fâhan, int-findan, *int-fëlhan. The meaning of the prefix belongs to grammar.—  ,, from enbërn,  (int-?) in-bëran, ‘to do without, want’; a corresponding  is wanting in the  dialects. The meaning of in-bëran can hardly be deduced from bëran, ‘to carry’ (see, , ); whether it is connected with ,  bosŭ, from an Aryan root bhes, ‘to be empty,’ remains uncertain, because the prefix has no very definite meaning, and because no other verb from this root has been found.  ',, ‘duck,’ from the  ęnte (for *ęnete), ant ( ęnte),  anut, ęnit, ; a term common to ;   anet(d),  eend,  œned,  ǫnd, , ‘duck.’ The assumed  form *anuþs points to a  kinship with  anat-, ‘duck,’ with which some have also connected  âti (see, however, ), as well as  ątĭ,  ántis, ‘duck.’ For the  term ‘duck’ ( dûce), see ). —   ' ( antrecht), , ‘drake,’ a modification of  antreche,  antrahho ( andrik); probably the correct form is *anutirahho?. In  simply ,  to  drake, which has certainly nothing to do with , ‘dragon,’  draco. Other terms for drake are  erpel in Pomerania, weddik in Mecklenburg, and wart in Holstein, all of obscure origin. Note further Swiss and   for .  , , ‘to hoard (a ship),’ simply , formed like  enteren, from  entrar ( intrare). ,, ‘against, in opposition, towards,’ from engęgen,  ingęgin, and ingagan,  and , ‘towards, against’;   angęgin,  ongeán,  again; see. —  , ‘exasperated, irritated,’ of  entrüsten, ‘to take off one's armour, to disconcert’ ( and  ontrusten, ‘to disturb’); see. —  , ‘to displace, depose’; ‘to be shocked, terrified,’ from  entsętzen, ‘to lay aside, disconcert, be afraid,’ from  entsitzen,  intsizzen, ‘to lose one's seat, fear, terrify,’  andsitan, ‘to shun, fear.’ , particle, ‘either,’ from eintwëder, an uninflected, corresponding as a disjunctive particle to an
