Skundavisk

Etymology

From Middle Skundavisk fangen, from Old Skundavisk fangan, fāhan, from Halmisk fāhan, from Proto-Germanic *fanhaną. The form fangan arose in Old Skundavisk through analogy with the past forms, superseding the original fāhan form in the standard, but not in the dialects, hence the form fån found in some Western dialects. However, some linguists argue that this form is in fact the result of a Danish influence rather than a remnant of the original form.
