tænke
Danish
Etymology
From Old Danish thænkiæ, þænkiæ, from Old Norse þenkja (“to know, recognise”), from Proto-Germanic *þankijaną. The Old Danish form is influenced in its form and its semantics by the Middle Low German cognate denken (“think, remember”), like Swedish tänka, Norwegian Bokmål tenke, and Norwegian Nynorsk tenkje.
