Usage notes
Used as gloss of Koine Greek ΞΊΟΞ―Ξ½ΞΏΞ½ (krΓnon, βlilyβ), but it is widely assumed that the term simply means "flower", as is the case of its Germanic cognates.
Reconstruction notes
Only the accusative plural π±π»ππΌπ°π½π (blΕmans) is attested. Streitberg (1910) reconstructs a masculine an-stem, presumably based on the other Germanic languages, but a masculine a-stem is also formally possible.
