[edit] Leek masters

All right, I suspected you meant "leek", the plant, but I am dying to know what this root for "leek" is that Lauran Toorians has in mind. I am sorry, but I don't have easy access to that book. By the way, I actually thought the "rabbit" etymology was pretty good (German Kaninchen, Dutch konijn, perhaps also — or alternatively — Proto-Celtic *kasnā- (?) 'hare'), although I didn't put it there and was not aware of it before reading about it in that Wikipedia article. The second part of the compound also has a different analysis, now based on IE. *poti- instead of being presumably connected to German fassen (whose IE etymology is not very clear).

[edit] Translated from Toorians:

The Proto-Celtic must have had a word *kannīnā, meaning “leek”. This word produced like Old-Irish cainnean “leek”, Modern Welsh cennin “leek; daffodils” and Modern Breton kignen “garlic”. Apart from Celtic this “leekword” only seems to have connected words in Slavic languages, so there may be a common (but unknown) non-Indo-european source

The second part of the name is most likely German. Compare Gothic words with faþs: bruþ-faþs “bridegroom”, hunda-faþs “hunderdman, centurio”, þusundi-faþs “thousandman” en swnagoga-fada “(belonging to) he leader of the synagoge”. This faþs is an excellent parallel for Latin fates. It harks back to Proto-Indo-european *potis “master”, similar to Greek pósis ”husband”, and Sanskrit páti “master, husband”. We only have to assume that the original tribename was Cannenefaþ-. Latin didn't know the German th-sound, and wrote it with a t.

I hope that helps! Hunter 03:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
