FFT say it's from PG *hindî (> Go. *hindei F.-ein) which seems 
strange to me. They also say it's from earlier *hemdî and cognate to 
KEMAS (Gen. KEMADOS). Interestingly, NHG has Hinde and Hindin, both 
feminine. I guess it's this latter Hindin (with an "extra" 
feminizator) which led some to conclude about an –în- stem. OE and 
ON as I can gather are F.-o, right?

Is it OK with the rhyme now I wonder?
