Layers of root nouns in Germanic: chronology, structure and origin

Bjarne Simmelkjær Sandgaard Hansen

Layers of root nouns in Germanic: chronology, structure and origin

Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics

Abstract

The root-noun declension became productive in early Germanic, containing (I) inherited root nouns, (IIa) original substrate or loan words, and transitions from other declensions in (IIb) Proto-Germanic and (III) North Germanic. As ablaut was abolished, the inherited type would display ablaut grades that, in late Proto-Germanic, became predictable from the phonotactic structure of the root.
