Proto-MSA

*kwn/*kyn - to be numerous (Kogan 2015:560)

“In the wake of Leslau, it is tempting to identify Proto-MSA *kwn/*kyn ‘to be numerous’ with PS *kwn ‘to be steadfast, sure, reliable’, although the underlying semantic link is not entirely transparent. A. Militarev’s alternative comparison (2012b:608) with Arb. kˀn ‘to be strong’ (Lane 2582) also deserves attention.”
