† gnastv.

Forms: Middle English–1500s gnaist(e, gnayste, Middle English–1500s gnaste, Middle English–1500s gnast.

Etymology: The early form gnaiste would seem to point to adoption of an Old Norse *gneista, an ablaut-variant of gnísta to gnash the teeth. Old Norse had also gnastan, gnastran (beside gnístan, gnístran) gnashing of teeth, and a strong verb gnesta to crack, clatter. The ultimate origin is probably onomatopoeic, which may account for the anomalous variation in the root-vowel.
