Reconstruction notes

[edit]

According to Dybo, the diphthongization of the vowel *ī in Prussian language occurred in a stressed syllable under the acute accent examining the form geijwas.[4] It is possible that the Prussian form indicates that Hirt's law was in effect. Kortlandt considers the combination -eij- an exception and a printer's error.[5]

Inflection

[edit]

Mobile accent.
