*aiginaz...should the descendants listed here be moved to *aiganaz ? Leasnam (talk) 03:34, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
- This is really a question about the shape of the strong past participle in general. -inaz shows up in Old Norse, while -anaz appears in Gothic and West Germanic. The Old Norse form has made some people reconstruct -inaz for Proto-Germanic as well, but I'm not sure if that's right. The ending never seems to trigger umlaut, even though you'd expect it to - Old Norse has no problem with umlaut in the singular forms of verbs, so there's no reason it would be levelled out here. —CodeCat 14:01, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
- I've reduced it to an alt form of the other spelling, which has more content. - -sche (discuss) 22:30, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
