podnee (s.xii1)

[ gdw]

[ FEW: 22/i, 37b fier; orgueilleux /9,479b prothyrum; Gdf: 6,241a podnei /6,328b posnee /6,329a posnois; GdfC: ; TL: 7,1635 posnee /7,1637 posnoi /7,1637 posnois; DEAF: ; DMF:  posnée; TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
podné,  podnei,  podneiz;  ponee,  ponnee,  posnee,  pounee,  dosnoi (l. posnoi?)  630 (var.) pondie  

The etymology of this word remains problematic, and the FEW’s proposed association with prothyrum (‘einfriedigung vor der tür’, i.e. ‘grill or fence in front of a door’) and its cognate expression faire le prorne (i.e. ‘to boast’), attested only once in a thirteenth-century Picard text, is certainly not the complete answer (cf. Baldinger, Etymologien iii 291-92).
