On the supposition that the sing, was kid{e}nere, this has been inferred to be a compound, having as its second element ME. nere kidney ; and it has been conjectured that kid(e)- might represent OE. ciuiS, cwtfn, or ON. ki'H belly, womb. But this is on many grounds improbable; above all, because the ordinary sing, in ME. was in -ei, -ey, the solitary instance of kydnere, c 1420 (i b below), being probably a pi. for kydneren. It is thus possible that/*V/fr/, pi. kideneiren, had as its second element ey, pi. eyren, eiren, eyre, eyer, EGG. (Cf. Ger. eier testicles.) The pi. kid(e)tteris might possibly owe its form to association with neres, neeres, pi. of nere ; the later kidneies, -neys, was a new pi. from tne unanalysed singular. But the first element remains uncertain.] 1.
