- Tenno, nonet, tenno, tenon
[Etymology]
editFrom French tonne (“metric ton”). Doublet of ton and tun.
[Noun]
edittonne (plural tonnes)
1.(chiefly UK) Synonym of metric ton, a unit of mass equal to 1000 kg.
2.1961 February, “Letters to the Editor: Swiss railways”, in Trains Illustrated, page 126:
Although loads of up to 900 tonnes could be handled by one of these locomotives, in practice the load is limited to 790 tonnes by drawgear.
3.1971, Transactions of the Royal Institute of Naval Arcihtects, volume 113, page 215:
The metric ton or 'tonne' is accepted as a synonym for the megagramme, and this form Is to be preferred on the grounds of brevity and familiarity in the industry. It may be as well to use the pronunciation 'tunnie' until the risk of confusion with the old ton has passed.
4.1972 May, Which:
The British Steel Corporation, going metric but realising the possible confusion between a ton and a tonne (1,000 kilograms) has directed its staff to pronounce ‘tonne’ ‘tunnie’.
5.2002, Richard Chapman, Physics for Geologists, CRC Press, published 2002, →ISBN, page 138:
The tonne rhymes with con (perhaps not in North America!) to distinguish it from the non-SI unit of weight, the ton rhyming with bun.

[Etymology]
editCompare Catawba nepe(ⁿ), nəpe(ⁿ), nepaⁿ, dəpe(ⁿ), dapa(ⁿ), dəpən, dube. Compare also noponne, which features in the word for "ten". Two Proto-Siouan roots for "one" can be reconstructed: Proto-Siouan-Catawban *nǫ(ːsa), rǫ(ːsa) (apparently whence this word) and *wįyą, each one found in one branch and almost entirely missing from the other. (*nǫ is importantly also found in Quapaw hi nǫxtį "once, one time", where -xtį is the morpheme denoting "_ times".)[1]

[Etymology]
editThe adjective is derived from Early Middle English thwert, thwerte, thuart, thurt, thurte, thwart, thwarte, twart, twarte, twhart, twhert, twort, þuert, þwerrt, þwert, þwerte, ðwert (“crosswise, transverse; counter, opposing; contrary, obstinate”),[1] borrowed from Old Norse þvert (“across, athwart”), originally the neuter form of þverr (“across, transverse”),[2] from Proto-Germanic *þwerhaz (“cross; adverse”) (altered or influenced by Proto-Germanic *þweraną (“to stir; to swirl; to turn”)), from Proto-Germanic *þerh-, probably from Proto-Indo-European *terkʷ- (“to spin; to turn”).The English adjective is cognate with Danish tvær (“sullen, sulky”), Gothic 𐌸𐍅𐌰𐌹𐍂𐍃 (þwairs, “angry”), Middle Dutch dwers, dwars (modern Dutch dwars (“crosswise, transverse; slantwise, askew; stubbornly disobedient”)), Norwegian tvert, tvært, Old Frisian þweres, dwers (Saterland Frisian twars, West Frisian dwers, dwerz (“across, to the other side of; beyond”)), Middle Low German dwers, dwars (Low German dwars (“contrary; cross-grained”)), Old English þweorh (“transverse; perverse; angry, cross”), Old High German twer (Middle High German twer, quer, modern German quer (“crosswise; cross”)), Swedish tvär (“across, transverse; of a curve: sharp; immediate, sudden; grumpy, stubborn”).[2] It is related to queer; also Proto-West Germanic *þwerh,The adverb is derived from Middle English thwert, ywerte (“crosswise; across the grain”); the Middle English Dictionary suggests the adverb was derived from the adjective,[3] while the Oxford English Dictionary notes that the adverb is attested earlier than the adjective.[2]The verb is derived from Middle English thwerten, thwert, thwarten, þwerten (“to lie across; to oppose, to thwart”),[4] and further from the adverb[5] and perhaps also the adjective.[4]Noun sense 1 (“a seat across a boat on which a rower may sit”) may be derived from the adverb or adjective, from the position of the seat across the length of the boat,[6] while noun sense 3 (“(rare) an act of thwarting”) is derived from the verb.[7] Compare Middle English thwert (“in in thwert: crosswise”), from the adjective.[8]
