Etymology
1. From Proto-Germanic *sinkwaną, from Proto-Indo-European *sengʷ- (“to sink, to drop”). The -nk- → -kk- and other nasal-stop assimilations often caused restoration of Pre-Proto-Germanic *e from traditional *i, compare kreppa and detta.
2. Compare Old English sincan, Old Frisian sinka, Old Saxon sinkan, Old High German sinkan, Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌲𐌵𐌰𐌽 (sigqan). See: Proto-Germanic '
*sinkwaną', Old English '
sincan', Old Saxon '
sinkan', Old High German 'sinkan'.
