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. | From Middle Skundavisk ''fangen'', from Old Skundavisk ''fangan'', ''fāhan'', from Halmisk ''fāhan'', from Proto-Germanic ''*fanhaną''.
