[edit]I have personally never heard ”trynga” and can’t seem to find it online. Is there a source for this word? Lundgren8 15:53, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- No, that was a mistake, sorry. I added there as a hypothetical form but after I looked and couldn't find it, I forgot to remove it. I've taken it out now. —CodeCat 18:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
throng
[edit]The etymology section of throng said it came from Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/þrangwaz and this said it came from Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/þrinhwaną, but this edit says it's not from this verb. I don't understand. --Espoo (talk) 19:32, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- The etymology is wrong, I fixed it. —Rua (mew) 19:39, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- I still don't understand; the lemma þrangwaz says it comes from þrinhwaną, so then throng does come from þrinhwaną. And your correction's derivation from trenkʷ in any case skips a step. If þrangwaz doesn't come from þrinhwaną, does it come from þrangwijaną? --Espoo (talk) 20:06, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- The derivation occurred before Proto-Germanic. The method by which *þrangwaz was derived was no longer productive in Proto-Germanic. There are many such ablaut remains, a lot of them survive in for example Dutch. —Rua (mew) 20:25, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- I still don't understand; is the lemma þrangwaz correct in saying it comes from þrinhwaną? If þrangwaz doesn't come from þrinhwaną, does it come from þrangwijaną? --Espoo (talk) 21:38, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
- No. —Rua (mew) 21:43, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
