Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/sukkōną
Proto-Germanic
editEtymology
editFrom Pre-Germanic *suḱnéh₂-, a zero-grade iterative to Proto-Indo-European *sewḱ- (“to suck”). The verb(s) *sūkaną/*sūganą ("to suck") very likely represent a back-formation from the iterative, as the expected outcome from inheritance would be *seuhaną.
Pronunciation
editVerb
edit*sukkōną
- (West Germanic) to suck
Inflection
editThe original paradigm consisted of two stem variants, *sukk- against *sug-.
