Pali ñāṇa (173)
According to Davids and Stede’s Pali-English Dictionary, Pali word ñāṇa refers to “knowledge, intelligence, insight, conviction, and recognition.” It is derived from jānāti and shares etymological relationship with other Indo-European languages. It includes *genē, as in Greek γνῶσις (gnósis) (cp. gnostic), γνώμη (gnómi); Latin (co)gnitio; Gothic kunpi; Old High-German kunst; and English knowledge. It traces its origin to the Tamil root kaṇ through the transformation of kaṇ > jñā > jñāna > ñāṇa. The following words, related to Pali ñāṇa, also originate from kaṇ.
