Etymology
From Proto-West Germanic *hund-, apparently from a metathesis of numerals ending in Proto-Germanic *-tēhundą, placing the hund- at the fore. Akin to Old Saxon ant- (compare Dutch tachtig (“eighty”)).
From Proto-Germanic *hundą (“hundred”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱm̥tóm (“hundred”). Akin to Old English hund (“hundred”).
From hund (“dog, hound”).
