I read about this form, which dates back to common Germanic, in the Journal
of Germanic Philology but I regret that I cannot say which volume it was in
or whose writing. It seems to come from bud- (-u- grade as in the past
participle) plus a direct dento-nasal suffix, i.e. -ð-sni- > -ssni- > -sni-.
Koebler lists this among the nasal suffixes in his gothic dictionary.
