𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽

Gothic

Etymology

The only attested form precludes a definite ascription of this word to a single lemma. There are two options:

• This form may represent an īn-stem lemma *𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻𐌴𐌹 (*maþlei), from 𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻 (maþl) +‎ -𐌴𐌹 (-ei).
• This form may represent an i/ō-stem lemma *𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (*maþleins), 𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻 (maþl) +‎ -𐌴𐌹𐌽𐍃 (-eins).

Noun

𐌼𐌰𐌸𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌽 • (maþlein) f

1. speech, discourse (accusative singular)

Inflection

As noted in the etymology, it is not certain what the lemma (and thus the inflection) underlying this accusative singular form would have been.
