Reconstruction:Proto-West Germanic/wurpijan
Proto-West Germanic edit
Alternative forms edit
- *werpijan (see Reconstruction notes)
Etymology edit
Derived from *werpan.
Verb edit
*wurpijan[1]
- to throw
Reconstruction notes edit
This term didn't actually exist in the form *werpijan, as the vowel e did not occur in an umlauting environment. However, due to the lack of definitive Germanic descendants and the fact that several other sources reconstruct this term as such, we have listed *werpijan as an alternative form despite it being unclear how the Proto-West Germanic form should be reconstructed.
