Proto-Germanic

Etymology

The past stem derives from an innovated extended form of the root, Pre-Germanic perfect singular *stéh₂-t-, nonsingular *sth₂-t-´, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂-. The process that led to this extension is unknown, however. The present stem is an n-infixed stem derived from the innovated past tense, Pre-Germanic *sth₂-n-t-´.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈstɑn.dɑ.nɑ̃/

Verb

*standaną

  1. to stand

Inflection

Present tense with n-infix. The past tense forms are shared with the synonymous suppletive verb *stāną.
