Etymology

From Old Frisian winna, from Proto-West Germanic *winnan.

The forms wune and wane are inherited (the former with assimilated *wu-, the latter with regular *wi-). The third variant wine was formed by analogy with verbs such as bine, fine (with Germanic *-nd-, *-nþ-). In the 2nd and 3rd persons singular, the a-vocalism is expected for wane and wine, but has also displaced *wunst, *wunt.
