Anagrams edit
Old Prussian edit
Etymology edit
Perhaps cognate to Lithuanian and Latvian te (“here!, here you are!”),[1][2] or to the related Lithuanian prefix te-,[1][3] which can either express the hortative mood — as in tedirba, "may he work" — or, more pertinently, the meaning "only" — as in teturiu, "I have only". Possibly more distantly related to Russian тепе́рь (tepérʹ, “now”)[1][2] and to Ancient Greek τῆ (tê, “here!”).[4]
Alternatively, the Prussian morpheme -er- may be functionally equivalent to Latvian -ik-, Lithuanian -ik-, -iek-. For example, er (“until”) parallels Lithuanian iki, ik, and erains (“everyone”) parallels Latvian ikviens. Under this hypothesis, ter would be composed of t- (demonstrative prefix) + -er (suffix denoting extent), and thus be equivalent to Lithuanian tik (“only”) or tiek (“that much”).[5][6]
Adverb edit
ter
- The meaning of this term is uncertain. Possibilities include: 1. only, merely; 2. than, other than.
- ter ains ― alone (literally, “only one”)
- 1561, Martin Luther, translated by Abel Will & Paul Megott, Stas Likuts Catechismus [The Small Catechism], →OCLC, page 115, line 25:
- bhe kai ſteſmu nimaſſi kittawidin pogalbton boūt / ter kai tans praſtan Crixtiſnan is Deiwan naunagimton
- and that he may not be helped in any other way / [only; other than] that he was born new through baptism out of God
Usage notes edit
In the Old Prussian corpus, this only occurs one time outside of the combination ter ains; see the quotation above. In the original German text of the Catechism, the word denn (“than”) was used:
- vnnd das jhm nicht anders geholffen werden moͤge / denn das es durch die Tauffe auß Gott Newgeboren
- and that he may not be helped in any other way / than that he was born new through baptism out of God
Accordingly, Nesselmann glosses ter as als (“than”),[7] which has displaced denn in this sense in modern German. However, there are good reasons to think that it may literally mean "only", discussed in the etymology above, and this is the meaning assumed by Fraenkel,[1] Endzelīns,[3] and Mažiulis.[8][9] Schmalstieg mentions both potential meanings.[2]
