Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/guttōną
Proto-Germanic
editEtymology
editAn iterative verb closely related to the strong verb *geutaną, both ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰewd- (“to pour”). Kroonen however, reconstructs a pre-form Proto-Indo-European *gut-néh₂-ti,[1] with an incorporated aorist -t ending in the root. He suggests that strong verb was backformed to the iterative.
Pronunciation
editVerb
edit*guttōną[1]
