Underlined words from genus (OED, OLD, W3), from genu (ODEE.)

N.B. I am not confident that I have divided the words from genus and genoV correectly. OED says suffixes -gen, -generous, -gene are all ultimately from genoV. For most words I have followed that guideline, although it goes against my instincts. Like pono/pauw perhaps a lot of fire about very little!

OLD says germanus from germen which may be from either gero or gigno. Gigno, gens, and genus are all related.
