Proverb from Winfrid’s Time and Bede’s Death Song: Some Textual Problems in Two Eighth-Century Poems Revisited
The sequence Oft daedlata domę foręldit (four words) in the Old English Proverb from Winfrid’s Time ( ProvW , 1) defies grammatical analysis because foręldit ‘delays’ requires an accusative object. It is proposed to read Oft daed lata domę foręldit as five words, with daed (= dǣd ) ‘deed’ functioning as direct object. This suggestion does not require any emendation because word division in Old English is by no means regular and there is some spac…
The meaning of Old English folcscaru and the compound’s function in Beowulf
Ever since Kemble (1840) , buton folcscare ( Beowulf , 73a) has been thought to mean ‘with the exception of the common land’. The Old English compound folcscaru is reliably attested in poetic texts in the sense ‘tribe, nation’; secondarily the meaning ‘province, land’ may have arisen, but nowhere does the compound convey the special sense ‘common land, commons’. It can be shown that a meaning in the area of ‘tribe’ makes sense at line 73 of Beowu…
On the 3rd person marking in the Lithuanian verb system
A specific feature of the verb in the Baltic languages is the same 3rd person singular, dual, and plural form. The prevailing opinion that Lith. vẽda reflects the inherited and later generalised 3 sg. form is questionable because Lith. vẽda can hardly be derived from the thematic paradigm of the protolanguage. The so-called semi-thematic -ē- and -ā- stems are frequently used in both the present and the past tense forms in the Baltic languages. In…

The Germanic Root * heuf- 'lament' and its Reflexes in Old English
Old English heofon (Christ and Satan, 343b) must not be interpreted as preterit in the plural, and therefore the form provides no support for positing a reduplicating verb OE hēafan ‘lament’ ( OE hēofan. An alternative root Gmc. *hauf- is unsupported and should not be posited. The form hof (Genesis, 771a), a relic of the Old Saxon vorlage, evidences the strong preterit *hauf for West Germanic. The strong verb *heuf-, reliably attested in West Ger…

Runes are the oldest known writing system in which texts have been recorded in Germanic languages. The ordering of the runes, which dates from a later period, gives the origin of the term ‘futhark’. Like all the other writing systems, the futhark underwent far-reaching changes over time. The volume deals with the changes which occurred in the writing traditions of the individual languages.

Old English gycer and Gothic jukuzi
1. OE gycer ‘acre‘ seems to be attested only once. In the Leiden Glossary, gycer is used to translate the lemma of the gloss iugeres · unius diei opus aratoris. 2. This gloss occurs in the section entitled ‘De Eusebio’, and has been traced to the Rufinus translation of Eusebius' Church History, where landed property is described in the following terms: nec haec sibi in pecunia subsistere, sed in aestimatione terrae, quae eis esset in quadraginta …
Old English brec[thorn]a and -brec[thorn]
OE brecÞa in Beowulf 171 is taken by editors and commentators as either nominative singular of a masculine n -stem or nominative plural of a feminine ō -stem. Syntactic considerations suggest and morphologic observations prove that it is a masculine n -stem. OE - brecÞ occurs only in composition and is a different formation

Germanic *-hug-di-z
IE *kugh- violates the rules for the consonant structure of Indo-European roots; the development of IE *kugh-ti- to Gmc. *hug-di -, doubtful for other reasons as well, must therefore be rejected. But from the Germanic root *hug- we would expect the *- ti -abstract *huh-ti-; thus *hug-di-, the form actually functioning as abstract to *hug -, must be an analogical formation. *-hug~di-z is built on the stem of the preterite and past participle of *h…

The Formation of the East Baltic Stative Verbs *stāw-ē- and *dēw-ē
The East Baltic stative verbs *stāw-ē - and *dēw-ē - do not derive from alleged Indo-European perfect forms in -w-. Their starting point must be seen in the otherwise well-known roots IE *stā - and *dhē-. The -w - is ultimately due to the active perfect participle, whose strong form IE *-wðs was abandoned in Baltic (and Slavic), but left its trace in a phonologic rule according to which vowel-initial suffixes were linked to roots ending in a long…
