Reconstruction talk:Proto-Germanic/anadz
The form is incorrect...[edit]
Whoever wrote this article didn't actually read the lemma for *anad- in Kroonen (2013: 26). Kroonen (2013: 26 s.v. *anad-) writes that this is a "root noun *anaþ, gen. *anadiz" (presumably with Verner's law *þ > *d? Although it's unclear, and that may be the source of the confusion for the writer of this entry). This is especially unfortunate because one would need to scrap this entire page and create a new one with the correct form. That being said, I'm not entirely sure I even believe Kroonen's reconstruction; I think, based on the OHG, ON, and OS (which Kroonen conveniently just leaves out) evidence, Ringe (2017: 98) is likelier to be correct when he states that "[i]t is at least conceivable that laryngeals between consonants are regularly reflected by *u in word-final syllables, though one can hardly draw such a conclusion from one example..." This is all to say: this entry is just wrong, regardless of whose reconstruction one chooses to believe. Vindafarna (talk) 03:08, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
