I'm just gonna give it to you that the gemination is contamination from another word.Ashtâr Balînestyâr wrote:*hr-?

Onward to bųan then.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
What did you mean by the first part of this? Was there a nasal consonant between the two vowels in "bųan" or not? I know you've said there was a consonant of some kind there.qwed117 wrote:Not really, but sorta? The nasal became a nasal vowel that then colored the l in front.Ashtâr Balînestyâr wrote:Was a nasal consonant lost in the middle of that morpheme?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
If the consonant between the vowels in "bųan" wasn’t nasal, was it a dorsal obstruent (g, k, h)?

The word was trisyllabic in the shape CVCVNṼ. N is a nasal, V an indeterminate vowel, and Ṽ a nasal vowel.
I hope this makes things a bit clearer shimobaatar and Ashtâr Balînestyâr.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
In a way, that makes things more confusing. How did the nasal vowel get where it is (rhetorical question, for now)? Then again, I'm an idiot.qwed117 wrote:Ashtâr Balînestyâr wrote:If the consonant between the vowels in "bųan" wasn’t nasal, was it a dorsal obstruent (g, k, h)?

Based on what you've told us here combined with what you've told us in the past (that it's an infinitive beginning with *b-), I assume the Proto-Germanic word was bV₁CV₂ną? Was V₂ *a?

If not, was it a class 2 weak verb *bV₁Cōną?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Since it’s been a while since anyone’s posted on this thread, I hope no one minds if I start it back up with a new word.

A clue here is that these are two variants of the same word.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Oh, not at all! Thank you for reviving this!
This probably doesn't need to be asked, but just in case, is this a verb? If so, is the left variant the infinitive?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Yes, it is a verb. The left variant is an infinitive.shimobaatar wrote: ↑16 Mar 2018 17:21 This probably doesn't need to be asked, but just in case, is this a verb? If so, is the left variant the infinitive?
