I think you're right with this connection. My Swdish ethymology list
"tvina" as related to "tyna" with essentially the same
meaning. And here the connection with German "dünn", Englisg
"thin", Swedish "tunn" is even more. What is that in LS,,
Dutch and other LL varieties? </span></p>

Reading Wolfram's post makes me wonder if perhaps English "thin" and
its various forms may have the same root. It seems but a short step from
"thvina" to thin. Certainly "thin" could be construed as
being "diminished" and fading away (oh how I wish!!), and
"thinning" -- as in hair, for example -- clearly carries the
connotation of "diminishing". Also, historically, of course,
becoming thinner would definitely have carried the negative -- and very real --
connotation of "disappearing slowly"...</span></span></span><br><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: black;">
