[edit]

@Leasnam, I'm pretty sure *mōijaną would immediately collapse to *mōjaną (or *majjaną per *ajją!), no? -- Sokkjō 19:51, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Sokkjo, I'm not sure. Would *mōijaną then be just an early form ? In a descendant like Low German möjen, I see the i causing mutation, and the j remaining. No ? Leasnam (talk) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not a lot of parallels, but I think *mōijaną would also demand a *meh₃y- root. -- Sokkjō 00:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
