Definition nod

Etymology

(�to beat, rivet, pound, push�), from Proto-Indo-European *kend?-, from *ken- (�to scratch, scrape, rub�). Compare Old High German hnot?n (�to shake�), hnutten (�to shake, rattle, vibrate�) (> modern dialectal German notteln, n�tteln (�to rock, move back and forth�)), Icelandic hnj��a (�to rivet, clinch�).
