Dan. dunna adj. “black”
An adjective for “black” developed from the root ᴹ√DUN (Ety/DUN). It most likely developed from primitive *✶dunnā given its cognates, as suggested by Helge Fauskanger (AL-Nandorin/dunna). It is a counter-example to Danian a-affection, perhaps indicating that this change was prevented or reverted before nasal clusters as was the case in Ilkorin.
