Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Is it descended from a word that's attested in Biblical Gothic?

A slight hint...earlier the question was "Is it a noun?" to which I said, "Yes." Perhaps, I should amend that to say "It is used as a noun, yes."

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Is it an adjective, then?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
No. But it could function as an adjective as well, I suppose.

Heh, I was trying to "back off", so to speak, to give someone else a chance to guess, but it looks like that's not going to happen, so I'll just get back to it.
Is it a present participle?

Did it begin with g- in Biblical Gothic?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
No, the prefix is the same as the prefix from my previous word.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
I suppose I should have guessed there was a prefix.
Huh, I'm a little stumped. Did the root have an initial s- in Biblical Gothic?

EDIT: well it started with an s- but it's part of an initial cluster in Gothic.
