root of "sanguis, sanguin-"?




Does anyone happen to know the origin of Latin <sanguis>, <sanguin>- ("blood"). I can't find a PIE source. Is it thought to be Etruscan? Unknown? Surely its not connected with Greek <haima>?

I was wondering about the pronunciation of the <ngu> cluster, and whether it was likely to be along the lines of /san-gwi-/ or /saN-wi/ ....

Cheers,
Carl
