Skundavisk
Etymology
From Middle Skundavisk regen, from Old Skundavisk regn, from Halmisk ᚱᛖᚷᚾ (regn), ᚱᛖᚷᚾᛖ (regne), from Proto-Germanic *regną. The masculine form regna (from Proto-West Germanic *regnaz) is also widely attested in Halmisk and Early Old Skundavisk, and some argue that the neuter form suceeded under Norse influence. This would explain why the Skundavisk word for rain is neuter, like in the North Germanic languages, while it's masculine in every other West Germanic languages.
