Weak grade
edit@Tropylium Any idea why Lule and Northern (and possibly others) have a weak grade here? —Rua (mew) 14:29, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- Maybe the best suggestion has been that the non-productive lative ending in adverbs like this is actually *-ksë, as clearly attested at least in the bisyllabic *luksë (“southwards”). (This might or might not be in turn cognate to the Finnic translative ending Lua error in Module:parameters at line 287: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E..) --Tropylium (talk) 14:52, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- That makes more sense to me. I wonder why Sammallahti reconstructs this instead? —Rua (mew) 14:54, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
