- *sturrāną[1]
Etymology
Kroonen suggests that this verb could be nasal infix present to Proto-Indo-European *sterh₁- (“to be stiff”).[2] The infix caused a consonant alternation in the root, the singular *str-néh₁-ti would result in a root with *sturr-. Whereas the plural *str-nh₁-énti would result in a root with *sturn-.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈstur.nɑː.nɑ̃/
Verb
*sturnāną[2]
Inflection
The paradigm consisted of two stem variants, *sturr- against *sturn-.
