ETYMOLOGY

Crimean Got. boga, ON bogi, OE boga, English bow, OS bogo, Dutch boog, OHG bogo, MHG boge, NHG Bogen; from PGmc ✱bugan- 'bow' (DRV) (or ✱bug-ōn), an n-stem (instrumental construction) derived from ✱beugan- ~ ✱būgan- (see בייגן).
In NHG, the final -n began to appear in the nominative from the 15th c. {Yiddish seems to have most of these final -n that came into the originally weak declension.}
