Etymology section[edit]
The etymology section is clearly pushing the reader towards a certain perspective without adequately supporting the claim that "most sources consider the word to have derived from a Germanic word..." What sources? Not disputing the claim, I would just appreciate some article links here.
Further, in the next paragraph, the sentence about relationship with Latin cunnus, cunni, m. is phrased in such a way to make the reader doubt this possibility ("Relationships...have not been conclusively demonstrated."). Has the relationship with the Germanic word been conclusively demonstrated? If so, I would love a citation!
Also, this bit about Grimm's Law comes out of nowhere and similarly isn't cited. Is this simply an editor's speculation, or is this a theory that scholars have proposed? Once again, would like a link to an article or book chapter if that's the case!
