כָּנַע unused in Kal, to bow the knee, to fall on one’s knees (kindred to כָּרַע, which see); a widely extended root, see γόνυ, γνυ (in γνυπετεῖν), genu, Knie; [“Sanscr. ganu”] γωνία, ἰγνύα, hollow of the knee; Aram. נְּנָא, ܓܢܐܳ to bow down, and, with the third radical hardened, knicken, einknicken. In Hebrew it is
(1) to fold, or lay together, zufammenbiegen, zufammenlegen; hence to collect, to bind together bundles (see כִּנְעָה ), compare Arab. كنع to draw together, to be drawn together, Conj. I., V., VII.
