Etymology
Close to the synonym *slingwaną, though with some formal difficulty. Presumably degeminated from earlier *slenkk-, from pre-Germanic *sln̥k-né(h₂)- or similar with a return to the full grade, from Proto-Indo-European *slenk- (“to wind, twist, slink, creep”) (or perhaps *slenkʷ-); this could explain the different coda stop reflexes without needing to assume two separate PIE roots. Related to Lithuanian sliñkti (“to creep, sneak”). Perhaps partly sound-symbolic or onomatopoeic.
