Attested only in North Germanic, so there's no reason to assume this term existed in Proto-Germanic rather than being coined in Old Norse or Proto-Norse. —Mahāgaja · talk 18:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

100%. Delete. --{{victar|talk}} 20:17, 12 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Definitely delete. One could perhaps also wonder whether the other weekdays merit Proto-Germanic reconstructions, rather than merely Proto-West-Germanic ones. The Old Norse forms mánudagr and frjádagr look mightily like half-calques from Old Saxon *mānondag and *frīadag (and sunnudagr has an alternate form sunundægi (an early hapax in Ólafs saga helga in the Old Norwegian Homily Book), which also looks suspiciously West Germanic, though it may, admittedly, be a spelling mistake). Gothic also provides no evidence of a Proto-Germanic adoption of weekday names. – Glésan (talk) 15:22, 9 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Delete, absolutely. Should be regarded as an ON coinage. Also @Glésan, I started a discussion about the PGmc weekday names here, if you're interested: Wiktionary:Etymology scriptorium/2020/December#Moving the Proto-Germanic weekdays to Proto-West GermanicMnemosientje (t · c) 11:05, 23 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
