Gothic

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *fōr, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pΓ©hβ‚‚wrΜ₯. Cognate to Old English fΘ³r and Old Norse funi, and Koine Greek πῦρ (pΓ»r), which it translates. This word was at one point an r-/n-stem (compare Hittite π’‰Ίπ’„΄π’„― (paαΈ«αΈ«ur)), with the -r supplanted by -n in the nominative and accusative by paradigmatic levelling.
