PGmc combining forms for strong feminine nouns

Hi CodeCat ! Just a quick question regarding how strong fem nouns create derived terms. If *lubō were to add the suffix *-līkaz, would the resulting word be *lubōlīkaz or *lubalīkaz ? I have seen it done both ways.

I don't really know. From a PIE perspective, the former would be expected, but that doesn't mean much for PG necessarily. Gothic has -a-, the same vowel as for a-stems, but since ō-stems have -a in the nominative singular anyway, it's probably analogical.

Hrrm, okay. If you were to settle on a consistent method to use, which would seem the better to you ?

Go with ō I guess?

Works for me ! Thanks :)
