Germanic

The Germanic form clearly can't descend from what is given. Syllabic sonorants develop epenthetic u in front of them, there's clearly no sign of that here. The Germanic form requires an o-grade. —CodeCat 19:16, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

-H̥- is said to yield -a- in PGmc. --Victar (talk) 20:28, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

There is no such thing as H̥. Only sonorants can be syllabic. —CodeCat 20:38, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Kroonen and even Wikipedia disagree. --Victar (talk) 20:51, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Please see Reynolds, West, Coleman (2000) on syllabic laryngeals. --Victar (talk) 21:03, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
