Combining form
borrowed from Greek, combining form from phōnḗ "sound made by something living, voice, speech, utterance," probably going back to Indo-European *bhoh2-neh2, o-grade derivative, with a suffixal -n-, from the verbal base *bheh2- "speak, say" — more at ban entry 1
Note: Greek phōnḗ has been compared with Old English bēn "prayer, petition, supplication," Old Icelandic bæn "prayer, request" (from *bhoh2-ni- or *bheh2-ni-) and Armenian ban "speech, word, thing, precept" (from *bheh2-ni-). An alternative hypothesis sees it as proceeding from Indo-European *ǵhu̯oneh2 "sound," and hence cognate with Old Church Slavic zvonŭ "sound, echo," Albanian—Tosk dialects zë "voice," Gheg dialects zâ, though this would require a lengthened grade *ǵhu̯ōneh2 to produce the Greek word.
