Proto-Norse
Etymology
From ᚢᚾ- (un-, “un-”) + *ᚦᚨᚱᛒᚢ (*þarbu, “need, want”), first from Proto-Germanic *un-, second from Proto-Germanic *þarbō. ᚢ- (u-) is a younger form of ᚢᚾ- (un-), and ᛡ (A) is the transitional a-rune, displacing earlier ᚨ (a), which instead takes a nasal quality, which it retains in the Younger Futhark. The second A reflects a svarabhakti (epenthetic) vowel; compare ᛒᛡᚱᛁᚢᛏᛁᚦ (bᴀriutiþ /bᵃriutiþ/), ᚺᚨᚱᚨᛒᚨᚾᚨᛉ (harabanaʀ /hᵃrabᵃnaʀ/).
This word is only attested once, in a late inscription and in the genitive plural.
