Should this page be moved to *frōwǭ, *frawǭ, with *frawjǭ listed as a derivative? the descendant forms don't seem to line up Leasnam (talk) 13:11, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
What do you think of the further etymology, pacem prawo and Russian:
Вероятно, из *рrō-vоs от *рrō- (ср. пра-), родственного лат. probus «добрый, честный, порядочный» (*pro-bhu̯os), др.-инд. prabhúṣ «выдающийся (по силе и изобилию), превосходящий», англос. fram «сильный, деятельный, смелый», др.-исл. framr «стоящий впереди, стремящийся вперёд»
?
frawjǭ's name[edit]
Frawjǭ's 'a' should be ā because according to Joseph Wright's grammar of Old English that Proto-Germanic ā evolved into Old English ō hence Frōwe in Old English. Leornendeealdenglisc (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'm familiar with Old English -ā- before a nasal becoming -ō- (e.g. mōna, tōþ, sōfte, etc.). Is this a separate rule that I'm not yet aware of ? Leasnam (talk) 01:19, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
