Anyway, is it saarv-eamf-yt-s?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
The middle hyphen was right the first time. That's the only thing right so far. You're warmer than your second try, but colder than your first.shimobaatar wrote:How was I supposed to know what direction to head in to get closer?qwed117 wrote:I said close!

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Hmm… So it's at least saarveam-fyts? Are there two morphemes of each side of the hyphen, or are there three on one side?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
I guess it is at least saarv-eam-fyts, but I can't help but not find two more morphemes in -fyts except what shimo had in his first guess, -fyt-s.
saarv could come from *sarwą then.

The word has lost a few consonants since PG, making the third morpheme small (since it essentially lost an entire syllable!).

It's not 100% right, but that won't matter in the context of the word. It's just a single sound change of difference.Ashtâr Balînestyâr wrote:Sa-arveam-fy-ts?
