Etymology[edit]
As according to Orel (2003, page 90), probably a feminine derivation from PIE *poh₂imen- > *poh₂imnih₂, early Germanic *poimen- > *poimnī (oblique *poimunj-), which when regularized to *poimj- would explain the nasal-less form in Old Norse and Old Saxon, < *faimijǭ.

- Sorry! I don't pay as much attention as I should anymore. But yeah, obviously they're the same word, they should be merged. Anglom (talk) 08:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
