Etymology

[edit]

Likely from Proto-Indo-European *h₃enh₂- (to onerate, charge, burden; (perhaps) to name); cognate with Hittite [script needed] (ḫannanzi, to judge, charge, sue).[1] According to Beekes, οὔνεσθε (oúnesthe) and the forms in ὀνα- (ona-) are secondary derivations, not based on the root ὀνο- (ono-).
