- Are there other examples of it? —Rua (mew) 23:01, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Rua: A good number: probably PWG *hamiþī (“shirt”), OHG kurzidi (“shortness”), gitrahtidi (“discussion”), jungidi (“young animal”), OE fyrhþe (“forest”), and many, like that OE example, vacillated between ō- and ja-stems (readjustments?). --
