Not exactly. Very very close to the point of it not making a difference thoughshimobaatar wrote:stepp-úrmb-bear-äg?
Also I'm really sorry about this but I accidentally misspelled it. It's actually steppúrmbbearåg. It doesn't particularly change anything though

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Some possible clusters that could be responsible for stepp morpheme
st <*sk, sl, sn, sp st
pp<*b, dw, ft, kk, pj, þj, lb, ld, p, w, mb
The list is rather long, largely because I haven't bothered to weed out answers that are contrary to Thrinnish development. It should be rather easy though to pinpoint ones that are impossible. Simply go to the Thrinn page and look for clusters that are inherited from PGm. Too lazy to do that though

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Does "beara" mean "bear"? I know this is almost certainly in the Thrinn thread, but if I looked I'd feel like I were cheating.
