title = "Alleged nursery words and hypocorisms among Germanic kinship terms",
abstract = "By (re-)evaluating the etymologies of the three Proto-Germanic kinship terms *ai{\th}īn-/-ōn- {\textquoteleft}mother{\textquoteright}, *ai{\th}ma- {\textquoteleft}daughter{\textquoteright}s husband{\textquoteright} and *fa{\th}ōn- {\textquoteleft}father{\textquoteright}s sister{\textquoteright} that are all claimed by at least some etymological handbooks to be nursery words or hypocorisms, I contend that we must abandon their nursery-word interpretations and rather regard them as inherited words derived from known Indo-European lexical material in a way that reveals important information on the Old Germanic society and its family pattern.",
