PG and forbid[edit]

I don't understand how this is from Proto Germ. *furibeudaną since forbid is shown as for- (“away”) bid. B&T shows cognates with the Deutsch verbieten so shouldn't the PG be something like *frabeudaną (*fra- + *beudaną). Is there any witness to show for the Proto Germ. being *furibeudaną?

The Proto-Germ *furi does not yield the Old English/English for-. Anglish4699 (talk) 04:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
