Etymology
Has been connected with Latin agna (“ear of grain”) and English awn. According to Beekes, the word must be connected with ἄχυρον (ákhuron, “chaff”), pointing thus to a Lua error in Module:parameters at line 290: Parameter 2 should be a valid language, etymology language or family code; the value "pregrc" is not valid. See WT:LOL, WT:LOL/E and WT:LOF. origin.
