Proto-West Germanic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Germanic *durz.
Noun[edit]
*dur f
Reconstruction notes[edit]
No West Germanic language preserves the consonant stem inflection intact, descendants variously reflect a u-stem and an i-stem. Old Norse however reflects a consonant stem plurale tantum, which is likely the source of the i-stem inflection in Old High German and Old Dutch. Old English and Old Saxon show a u-stem noun, which can derive from the original accusative singular and dative plural.
