Proto-Germanic

Etymology

    From a full-grade form of Proto-Indo-European *h₂énti (opposite, in front), locative of *h₂ent- (front, forehead). West Germanic continues an enclitic variant. The forms in *u- may continue the zero grade (genitive singular *h₂n̥tés), but this is uncertain given the enclitic nature of the word and the virtually unlimited variety of attested vowels.
