Frisan

Old English Etymology From ang gmw-pro *Frīsan, whence also ofs Frīsa and goh Frīson. The Proto-Germanic form is uncertain, since non frísir is an i-stem; thus the West Germanic form points to *frīsaniz, while Old Norse points to *frīsīz. Note that variants with ē exist, but the oldest sources attest that these are secondary developments; see especially la Frīsiī, attested since the first century.Neumann, Günter (2008).
