Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs 2
Are any of those diacritics to indicate tone?
If so, is the tone at least partly resulting from the loss of a coda?

Yes, the first one had a coda, the second word did not.
No, but a very similar sound.

You can if you'd like. However, I personally haven't asked anything here for a few days because I've been busy, not because I'm stuck.
Did the first word end in *-az?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs 2
Not cognate, but one of them has (and had) a very similar meaning, almost identical and partially overlapping.

Did both words begin with *b- in Proto-Germanic?
