Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Was the prefix *idi- in Proto-Germanic?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
did the length distinction in fuut come from u being followed by a deleted consonant? if so is the consonant r?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Ver, very close. I am tending to declare you the winner, but I kind of want to wait for the next guess, because it has a somewhat more idiosyncratic meaning.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Would that idiosyncratic meaning be considered obscene by some?

Does the English word you're looking for begin with the prefix "re-"?

Actually, I will just give it away: to water (especially flowers, but also other plants) was the meaning I imagined. Similar to German gießen (wiktionary 3.).
Shimo probably got closest, but qwed made some very helpful contributions. So, IMHO, it's up to you two who provides the next word.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
It came down to a choice between this word and another one, but I figured that this one might be a little less obvious. I'll probably use the other word I was considering the next time it's my turn.
Language: Modern Königsberg Northeast Germanic
Word: wjytsfilps
IPA: /ˈʋʲytsfilps/

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Since more than a week has gone by without any guesses, I'll say that it is a compound word.
