monne

From Old Norse munu (“would”), muna (“to remember”), from Proto-Germanic *munaną (“to think, remember”), cognate with Old Saxon munan, Gothic 𐌼𐌿𐌽𐌰𐌽 (munan). In older Danish, the present tense was mon in the singular and monne in the plural, whereas the past tense was monde. These forms have all coalesced in modern Danish.
