Proto-Germanic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The present stem derives from a Pre-Germanic j-present, *sth₂-yé/ó-, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂-. Because it represents a formation known in Indo-European times, it may have been inherited. The past stem derives from an innovated extended form of the root, Pre-Germanic perfect singular *stéh₂-t-, nonsingular *sth₂-t-´. The process that led to this extension is unknown, however.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
*stāną
- to stand
Inflection[edit]
Irregular; the present is similar to verbs of weak class 3-ā. The past tense forms are shared with the synonymous verb *standaną.
