Johan Schalin, PhD<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.community/@yvanspijk" class="u-url mention">@<span>yvanspijk</span></a></span> 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). <br />A Finnic word like ”kuningas” is hardly from <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/ProtoGermanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ProtoGermanic</span></a>, at least not early <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/PGmc" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PGmc</span></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).</p>
Johan Schalin, PhD<p>By and large <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/WestNorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WestNorse</span></a> preserves more of <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/ProtoGermanic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ProtoGermanic</span></a> than <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/EastNorse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EastNorse</span></a>. An exception is the verbal stem gā/*ga- ’go’, which in <a href="https://lingo.lol/tags/OldSwedish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OldSwedish</span></a> was used in the present tense and at times in the infinitive. Else its inflection was suppleted by forms of the verb ”ganga”.<br />In West Norse ”gá” is attested very sparsely indeed, and instead ”ganga” is used throughout the paradigm.<br />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">#<span>LowGerman</span></a>, but today this is not deemed probable. 🧵👇🏻</p>
