Etymology

cf Ngadjuri gunda, (small wallaby)

Noun

unda

1. (black) wallaby

Interlingua

Noun

unda (plural undas)

1. wave

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from a collective of Proto-Indo-European *udn-om n (“body of water”) (compare Latvian ūdens (“water”)) reanalysed as a feminine singular and with metathesis of -dn- to -nd-, from *wódr̥, *udn- (“water”), attested in Italic as Umbrian 𐌖𐌕𐌖𐌓 (utur, “water”).

The resemblance to Proto-Germanic *unþī (“wave”) appears to be coincidental, with at most minor semantic confluence.
