Gothic[edit]

Hey @Mnemosientje, is -𐌹𐌻𐍉 (-ilō) an attested productive suffix in Gothic, and if so, can you provide any examples specific to Gothic? – Sokkjō 20:09, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Sokkjo: Of the few occurrences of this suffix, only 𐌹𐌽𐌹𐌻𐍉 (inilō) has no cognates. The other occurrences have cognates and thus can't be seen as definite proof of productivity, it seems to me. (But the etymology of inilo is basically unknown and so can't be seen as a clear-cut case, either.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
