Notes[edit]

</references>

  1. ^ related to *wilþijaz ("wild, untamed"); this formation provides confirmation that the root was *welt-, not *wel-t- (with an extension -t-)
  2. ^ along with AG kólymbos/kólymph- ("diving bird; little grebe"), LA columba ("pigeon, dove"), and Proto-Slavic *gȍlǫbь ("pigeon, dove"), the word likely goes back to a non-PIE Wanderwort; despite the difference in meaning, the Greek word can be connected simply by semantics: compare the other Germanic word for "dove", *dūbǭ from *dūbaną ("to dive"); if the second reconstruction is correct, the structure of the second syllable in Germanic is reminiscent of *silubrą, therefore possibly borrowed from the same donor language
  3. ^ possibly from pre-Germanic *smewk-> *smeuganą ("to creep/slip into"), due to their nesting in the holes of trees
  4. ^ with influence from *augô ("eye")
  5. ^ a difficult word: we could assume ablaut (?); it's also possible that the OHG word was altered by folk etymology with *maitaną ("to cut")
  6. ^ with -m- vocalizing before -s-, which occurred after apocope of unstressed -i- and well after the Ingvaeonic Nasal Spirant Law
  7. ^ PIE did not possess a morpheme -b-; also, simply from the meaning itself, it's likely not native to Germanic
  8. ^ ON bjǫrr (< as if *beuraz) can't be reconstructed as *bebruz, otherwise we'd expect *bøfr; ON -f- tends to disappear intervocalically next to -u-, eg. haukr < *ha(f)ukr
  9. ^ *bukkaz split off from an original n-stem *bukô/*bukk-
  10. ^ the word is earlier used with large dogs, usually mastiffs; OE shows leveling of the strong stem-final -g-, replacing the weak geminate -kk-: *dug- + *dukk- = *dugg-, as is very common in the Old and Middle Germanic languages when regularizing n-stems with Kluge's variation; the fact that the word shows the effects of Kluge's law at all however does indeed prove it dates back to Proto-Germanic
  11. ^ primary feminine formation; cf. *luhǭ from *luhsaz (both "lynx")
  12. ^ a difficult word to reconstruct, not just in Germanic: more recently reconstructed as *gʷeh₃u- and possibly *gʷeh₃- (cf. AG bṓn and SA gā́m as if from *gʷeh₃-m); ostensibly post-PIE/pre-Gmc *-ōu- simplified to *-ō- (which is probably corroborated by *fōr' < *fōur < *péh₂-wr ("fire")), but perhaps not before same-syllable contact between *gʷ- and *-u- led to delabialization; otherwise we would expect some forms to show *kw-, which is however unattested; the oblique *ku- (< *gʷh₃u-) is also found in *kurzan- ('bull calf") (*ku- + urzan- ("male animal")), and *kudją ("herd (of cattle)")
  13. ^ the weak stem *tipp- was leveled to *tibb-
  14. ^ either originally a root noun or an n-stem *ūrô, oblique *ūr- (< *ūr-nV́-)
  15. ^ original *wl̥kʷíh₂, oblique *wl̥k(ʷ)jéh₂ with delabialization in the latter due to the palatal glide
  16. ^ although the stem *ung- is unattested, it must have existed; the weak stem *unk- is due to Kluge's law ie. *h₂n̥gʷʰ-né-
  17. ^ coriander was non-native to the Proto-Germanic speaking area; probably so-called due to visual similarity
  18. ^ either from *brēaną ("to fume, smell") due to the smell of the flowers, or from *brēz- the functional o-grade of *bres-, the unextended root found in *brezdaz, *bruzdaz/*burzdaz ("spike, point, edge") due to the thorns
  19. ^ ON bygg, also Elfdalian begg-; OE bēow) (shows two stem variants: *beww- and *biww- which can be reconciled as a neuter u-stem or neuter a z-stem
  20. ^ the form was probably *aganō: Gothic levels Verner's consonants out when there's a related model upon which to base it
  21. ^ if related to Celtic *tanno- ("oak/holly") then definitely borrowed from a non-IE language as the initial consonants cannot be explained by borrowing one way or the other
