@ArmandDAngour @wylfcen Ifaik its also been suggested to be an unborrowed word from PIE just cause the sound changes affecting w and n are so few in english that its hard to pin down its true origins.

The moon has left the sky,
The Pleiades are gone.
Midnight. The hours go by.

ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω.
