To Bjorvand-Lindeman (VAEO, pp.676-677) the protoform of Nor.
<hnot>, OE hnutu, Lat. nux, cis should be reconstrued as *knew-,
zero-grade form *knu- (Grim's Law *k > h). Extended form *kne-H-
could explain Celt. *knu:s, gen. *knuwos > OIr cnu, cno; *knu-k
within Lat. nux, gen. nucis. So, ital.-celt. protoform should be
*knuH-, where Lat. gen. nucis < *knuk-es could be explained through
switch *Hs > *ks.
