          1. Agni-

/Agni/ gehört zu ahd. /egga/ (Subst. st. f. jô-Stamm); bedeutet in 
vor-nhd. Zeit "Schneide einer Waffe, Spitze, Kante, Ecke, Winkel" und 
hat folgende Etymologie: nhd: Ecke, mhd: /ecke/, /egge/, ahd: /ekka, 
egga/, germ: /*agjo/, ig. Wurzel: /*ak/ (scharf, spitz, kantig). In fast 
allen germ. Sprachen ist /*agjo/ belegt, sowie auch die ig. Wurzel in 
anderen ig. Sprachen, z.B. lat. /acies/ (Schärfe, Schneide); es ist 
anzunehmen, dass das Wort zum archaischen Wortschatz zählt. /Agni-/ (wie 
auch /agil-/) ist eine Nebenform zu /*agjo/, bei der eine n-Metathese zu 
/agin/ (konsonantische Umstellung des n) eingetreten ist; nach Wilmanns 
neigt besonders das Obd. dazu, Sonanten aus der Flexion oder Ableitung 
in die Stammsilbe aufzunehmen. Die Form /Agni-/ wird dann 
volksetymologisch auch umgedeutet auf die hl. Agnes, der wiederum 
namensspielerisch als Kennzeichen das Lamm (lat. /agnus/) zugeordnet wird.
