Lauhaz NasjąI am ready to reveal groundbreaking news that I'm sure all have been awaiting breathlessly. /hyperbole After nearly three years on this platform, I have finally updated my About section again! Two primary factors motivated the change. I originally based much of it on a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ProtoGermanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProtoGermanic</a> persona that I have since used only minimally, largely because I don't really know the language or culture and have to do extensive research if I ever want to post in character.

Johan Schalin, PhD<a href="https://toot.community/@yvanspijk" class="u-url mention">@yvanspijk</a> I’m not sure the as-stems were that productive in the earliest loans at all. Neither trisyllables (trisyllabic stem types were rare in Pre-Finnic). A Finnic word like ”kuningas” is hardly from <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/ProtoGermanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtoGermanic</a>, at least not early <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/PGmc" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PGmc</a>. NW-Germanic yes. In fact I don’t think it even occurs in Gothic (it was reiks!) so NW-Germanic is the probable age of this loan (despite the misinformation in all the handbooks).

Johan Schalin, PhDBy and large <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/WestNorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WestNorse</a> preserves more of <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/ProtoGermanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ProtoGermanic</a> than <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/EastNorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EastNorse</a>. An exception is the verbal stem gā/*ga- ’go’, which in <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/OldSwedish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OldSwedish</a> was used in the present tense and at times in the infinitive. Else its inflection was suppleted by forms of the verb ”ganga”. In West Norse ”gá” is attested very sparsely indeed, and instead ”ganga” is used throughout the paradigm. In past research there was an idea that gā could have been borrowed from <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/LowGerman" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LowGerman</a>, but today this is not deemed probable. 🧵👇🏻
