A more recent suggestion sees fīnis going back to *bhiH-n-i, a derivative of an Indo-European verbal base *b h ei̯H- "strike, break," seen also in an o-grade derivative *b h oi̯H-n-o-, whence Germanic *baina- "bone" and "straight" (in Old Norse beinn "straight"); (see bone entry 1 ); in this case fīnis would have referred originally to an upright branch or stake used to mark boundaries. Both hypotheses are in the end speculative, as the semantic prehistory of fīnis in Latin is unknown.
