See also thyne. [OE. þanone, þanon, þonan, etc. = OFris. thana, OS. thanana, thanân, ODu. *þanna (MDu. danne, dan, Du. dan), OHG. thanana, than(n)ân, dan(n)ân (MHG., Ger. dannen), Goth. type *þanana: all formed by the addition of particles to the stem þa- of the demonstrative that. As to the relations of the OE. forms, the β group may have arisen from the α, with loss of the middle vowel: þan(o)ne, þanne, etc. From the β forms, loss of the final e gave than, then, as in then adv. The δ þona is app. the northern form of þonan in γ.
