Proto-Germanic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Pre-Germanic *suḱnéh₂-, a zero-grade iterative to Proto-Indo-European *sewḱ- (“to suck”). The verb(s) *sūkaną/*sūganą ("to suck") very likely represent a back-formation from the iterative, as the expected outcome from inheritance would be *seuhaną.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
*sukkōną
- to suck
Inflection[edit]
The original paradigm consisted of two stem variants, *sukk- against *sug-.
