Yes
Oh, I wasn't counting that one because it was part of an affricate. I guess I meant the third /d/, then. I was asking about this one: /dod͡ʒads/ (emphasis mine).

No worries, I totally see where you were coming from.

Anyway, was the *i that caused the palatalization part of the root?

Was the /a/ an *a in the derivational suffix in Proto-Germanic?

No.

Also, upon checking the wiktionary list, it appears they consider the suffix to not have the *a as part of it. Personally, i disagree with that assessment but on wiktionary it is listed without a thematic vowel.

In the way of a hint, here is the same word in Old Sortsbergish:

Is the derivational suffix related to the German present participle ending?

So this means the proto-word was *dungandz? And it means something like 'fertilizer'?

Sure

*dungijandz
1) ij > i *dungiandz
2) z > s *dungiands
3) V > [+nas] / _C; [+nas] > [-hi]; N > Ø / V_C *dõgiãds
4) gi > dʒ Old Sortsbergish /dõdʒãds/
5) V > [-nas] Sortsbergish /dodʒads/

Wow, thanks. I really like that. Every single step makes sense, but the result is surprising.
