Connotations[?]

Word of Power, Kyne is closely associated with the wind, animals, and nature. Nords believe she gave birth to them at the Throat of the World. She is credited with giving mankind the power of the Thu’um, either by her own doing or through the use of Paarthurnax.

Etymology[?]

Possibly related to kiin ‘birth’, as Kyne is the ‘Mother of Men’. May be a loanword of the Nordic name Kyne, or the origin of the Nordic name.
