Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 12/05/99 21:56:05  , vous avez =E9crit :

<< My little Danish etymological dictionary says "Du. toonen, akin to
 Gothic at-augjan". But how did it get an <n> in the stem? >>

Maybe "at" is an infinitive (Sw. "att") while "ten" is an acc/dat article=20
(akin to gen. "ter" in "ter wereld").
What is the Danish infinitive by the way ?
