@Metaknowledge, Rua: Is there strong enough evidence for the compound suffix *-iþī from *-iþu +‎ *-ī, i.e. *biliþī? --{{victar|talk}} 22:59, 28 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Are there other examples of it? —Rua (mew) 23:01, 28 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Rua: A good number: probably PWG *hamiþī (shirt), OHG kurzidi (shortness), gitrahtidi (discussion), jungidi (young animal), OE fyrhþe (forest), and many, like that OE example, vacillated between ō- and ja-stems (readjustments?). --{{victar|talk}} 00:06, 29 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
