Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs 2
te- in the modern language is a prefix, as was its Proto-Germanic ancestor.

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs 2
I've tried to summarize everything that's been established so far below. Please let me know if I should give some kind of hint.
"Word": teketting ef welledges
IPA: [təˈkʰɛtɨ̃ŋ əv ˈwɛɫˌʔɛd͡ʒəs]
"Word": teketting ef welledges
IPA: [təˈkʰɛtɨ̃ŋ əv ˈwɛɫˌʔɛd͡ʒəs]
- A noun phrase.
- The "Xing of Y-Zs", roughly, where X is a verb and Y and Z are nouns.
- The first syllable is not descended from Proto-Germanic *ta.
- The suffix -ing is used to form gerunds/verbal nouns.
- The root of the verb is -ket(t)-, and its ancestor in Proto-Germanic began with *k.
- te- is a prefix. The primary reconstructed meaning of the Proto-Germanic prefix from which it is descended has more to do with a state of being than motion or location.
- Corresponds to "of" in English.
- A compound of two nouns, well and edges.
- The suffix -(e)s indicates plurality.
- The Proto-Germanic ancestor of edges began with a vowel.
