[OE. gánian = OHG. ġeinôn:—OTeut. *gainôjan; related to the synonymous OE. ᵹínan str. vb. = ON. gína, and OE. ᵹinian, ᵹeonian wk. vb. = OHG. ginôn, ginên (MHG. ginen, genen, mod.Ger. gähnen), MDu. genen (in Kilian ghienen), and OSl. zinatĭ, Lith. žinąti. The same root (OAryan *ghei-) without the n suffix, has given rise to vbs. of similar meaning in most of the European branches of the Aryan family: cf. OSl. zijatĭ, Lith. zioti, L. hiāre, hī-scĕre, OHG. gîjên, gîên, also (with w suffix) giwên (MHG. giwen, gewen), Du. geeuwen; the ONorthumbrian giwiᵹa to ask, demand, may correspond to this.
The normal ME. form of OE. gánian would be gane-n in Northern dialects and gone-n in other dialects. This agrees generally with the recorded distribution of the forms, but gane occurs in Chaucer. The relation of this word to the synonymous ME. ȝane, ȝone (see yawn v.) is obscure.]
intr. To open the mouth wide, to gape or yawn.
