𐌷𐌹𐍂𐌹

Gothic edit

Etymology edit

Extremely uncertain; many different etymologies have been proposed (for which see Lehmann 1986, who calls the etymology "massively disputed"), but most agree on at least some link to either 𐌷𐌴𐍂 (hēr) or the stem of *𐌷𐌹𐍃 (*his). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. don't replace this with a single ety unless there has been recent research since Lehmann which goes into this; as Lehmann's lemma demonstrates, there are multiple plausible explanations.

Interjection edit

𐌷𐌹𐍂𐌹 • (hiri)

(to one person) come (here)! hither!

Inflection edit

Dual: 𐌷𐌹𐍂𐌾𐌰𐍄𐍃 (hirjats)
Plural: 𐌷𐌹𐍂𐌾𐌹𐌸 (hirjiþ)
