{{vern}} with a regular link if already defined. Add novern=1 if not defined.))Etymology
From Ancient Greek πολύγονον (polúgonon, “knotweed”) from πολύς (polús, “many”) + γόνυ (gónu, “knee”) (though γόνος (gónos, “offspring”) has been suggested- the "knots" in "knotweed" are enlarged joints like knees, and it's certainly a prolific weed, so either derivation is plausible).
