Gothic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Germanic *niwjaz, from Proto-Indo-European *nรฉwyos. The -jis in the nominative singular results from morphological levelling with the oblique forms, as the expected outcome of *-jaz in Gothic following a consonant would otherwise have been *-is. Other examples of this development include ๐ท๐ฐ๐๐พ๐น๐ (harjis), ๐ฝ๐น๐ธ๐พ๐น๐ (niรพjis), ๐ฐ๐ป๐พ๐น๐ (aljis) and ๐ผ๐น๐ณ๐พ๐น๐ (midjis).[1]
Adjective[edit]
๐ฝ๐น๐ฟ๐พ๐น๐ โข (niujis)
