Comes kviunands from *kwīnandz?
A few years, I posted about Bløjhvåtterskyll. That's Barmish nowadays, and it's quite different from back then.

Is frastänodheds composed of multiple morpheme but only one root (not a compound)?

  • It is a noun phrase.
  • kviunands is the present participle of a verb deriving from *kwiknaną.
  • frastänodheds is made up of multiple morphemes, but there is only one root. It is not a compound.
As a hint, frastänodheds consists of five morphemes.

Do these correspond to:

fra-, fram, furi-, furai-? (any or all - they're largely merged in most daughter languages)

standana/sta:na? (either of the verbs for 'to stand')

something else I can't guess at...

haiduz? (the -heit/-hood suffix)?

genitive singular -as/-is?

[tick] *fra- is specifically what I had in mind.

It could potentially be helpful for me to note that this suffix was borrowed from Middle Low German rather than inherited directly from Proto-Germanic.

[cross] It was nominative singular, but as I've noted below, including this suffix on this particular word was a mistake on my part.

My apologies - I've just realized that the phrase should actually be kviunande frastänodhed. The only difference has to do with grammatical gender, so nothing has changed in terms of meaning.

kviunande
  • The present participle of a verb deriving from Proto-Germanic *kwiknaną.
  • Modifies the head of the noun phrase, and therefore takes the feminine nominative singular agreement suffix -e.
frastänodhed
  • The head of the noun phrase.
  • Made up of four morphemes, but only one root: fra-stän-od-hed.
  • The first morpheme is descended from Proto-Germanic *fra-.
  • The second morpheme is not descended from Proto-Germanic *standaną or *stāną.
  • The fourth morpheme is equivalent to the English suffix -hood, but was borrowed from Middle Low German rather than directly inherited from Proto-Germanic *haiduz.
Some additional information that may be helpful:
  • The root of frastänodhed is -stän-.
  • frastänodhed is a noun derived from the past participle of a verb.

If anyone's still interested in guessing, I could give some additional information. Or should I just reveal the meaning so someone else can take the next turn?
