abstract = "By using Jakobson's (1960:127-130) criteria for determining the nursery-word status of a given lexeme, I argue in this article that, even if we should no longer regard PG *ai{\th}īn-/-ōn- 'mother' (Goth. ai{\th}ei), *ai{\th}ma- 'daughter's husband' and *fa{\th}ōn- 'father's sister' as nursery words or hypocorisms (Hansen 2017:207-220), we should certainly still do so for PG *ammōn-'parent's mother; wet nurse', *attan- 'father' (Goth. atta), *basōn- 'father's sister' and *mōnōn-/mōmōn- 'mother; mother's sister'.",
