Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Does klaibs derive from PG *hlaibaz?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Is the first root also a noun?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Does šaismý descend from Proto-Germanic?
If so, did it start with *s?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
It does. It wouldn't really be fair in this game otherwise, right?
No, it didn't.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Is the thing in question actually some kind of bread, or just bread-like?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Is the first root derived from *þaismô? If so, does the word mean leavened bread?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Ninja'd while i was still in /t/ of Wiktionary's Category: Proto-Germanic Nouns
I second Spanick's suggestion, and I am unanimous in that.
As an aside. for whomever who speaks/spake this language, *klaib means 'unleavened bread'???
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
It's a type of bread. In fact:
Spot on! Your turn.
What gave you that impression? No, klaibs is a pretty close equivalent to the English word "bread", at least in my experience. In other words, it can refer to leavened or unleavened bread, but the default assumption is usually that it refers to leavened bread. However, speakers can still specify that the bread is leavened if need be with the term šaismýklaibs, just like how English speakers can specify by saying "leavened bread", even though most speakers tend to assume that "bread" is leavened by default.
Edit: flætjklaibs /ˈflæt͡ʃklɛːɪ̯ps/ (< *flatją-hlaibaz) would probably be "unleavened bread".
Edit: Actually, according to Wiktionary, Proto-Germanic might have had *hlaibaz "unleavened bread" vs. *braudą "leavened bread". For whatever it's worth, *braudą > braud /brɔːʊ̯t/, probably.

I'd be interested in how you got from þ to š.

This is probably going to be an easy one, but I'm reworking an older language I did a while back.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
According to the Index Diachronica, it happened unconditionally between Proto-Semitic and Biblical Hebrew, and under certain conditions in some Algonquian languages.
What I have is:
θ > ʃ / _(j,i)
θ > f / _(w,u)
θ > f / C_, #_C
θ > ʃ / #_
θ > ð / V_V
Is it a noun?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
No, but that is an excellent guess. You’re in the correct semantic category.
