==Askājaskā naunā== | |||
===sājanaunā=== | |||
The adjectives of Skájamál are quite peculiar from a sibling perspective - there is no “strong” or “weak” inflection - instead, adjectives are declined for definiteness by a complex process whose origins lie in the ancient addition of a prefix, ''*ja(i)-'', which is usually reflected as ''a-'' before most consonants and disappears before most vowels. However, sound changes and analogical processes make the resultant system quite tricky to navigate. | |||
#preserved pre-consonantal a- | |||
:'''hwēkwaḥ''' vs. '''ahwēkwaḥ''' (weak) | |||
#iotation and loss | |||
:'''ulsīnaḥ''' vs. '''iulsīnaḥ''' (golden);this results from an original *g being preserved as -j- intervocalically and lost initially. | |||
#preserved lenition | |||
:'''bitraḥ''' vs. '''avitraḥ''' (bitter) | |||
#lenition and loss | |||

:The past tense indicative {{sc|1pl}} marker has replaced the equivalent present indicative marker. So, basically a bunch of verbs look a bit like preterite-presents here. | |||
::e.g. '''aujum''' 'we have' ( from an innovated < *'''habjum''', instead of the expected reflex of PGmc. *'''habjamaz''' which would be **aujamah) | |||
#Innovatio II | |||
:Loss of final -i in the ind. pres. ("weak") | |||

: The subclasses of w-Class III merge with the stative -ja- spreading into the factitive in the present, while the factitive -a- forms spread to the past. The past participle is formed with *''-adaz'', present with *''-(i)jandz'' | |||

A lot of things happen here: | |||
As for *brūkaną, it's moved into class 2b of the strong verbs but keeps weak participle: briūk-, brauk-, brukadaz -> briūk-, brauk, brukara | |||
then, *būanā joins the third weak class as būjanā (būās, būrāze, būra) | |||

Askājaskā naunā
sājanaunā
The adjectives of Skájamál are quite peculiar from a sibling perspective - there is no “strong” or “weak” inflection - instead, adjectives are declined for definiteness by a complex process whose origins lie in the ancient addition of a prefix, *ja(i)-, which is usually reflected as a- before most consonants and disappears before most vowels. However, sound changes and analogical processes make the resultant system quite tricky to navigate.
- preserved pre-consonantal a-
- hwēkwaḥ vs. ahwēkwaḥ (weak)
- iotation and loss
- ulsīnaḥ vs. iulsīnaḥ (golden);this results from an original *g being preserved as -j- intervocalically and lost initially.
- preserved lenition
- bitraḥ vs. avitraḥ (bitter)
- lenition and loss
- batistaḥ vs. vatistaḥ (best)

habdō > awdō -> audō -> aujā 1sgpres, audō 1sgpast, aujau 1sgpressubj, audē 1sgpastsubj
- Innovatio I
- The past tense indicative 1pl marker has replaced the equivalent present indicative marker. So, basically a bunch of verbs look a bit like preterite-presents here.
- e.g. aujum 'we have' ( from an innovated < *habjum, instead of the expected reflex of PGmc. *habjamaz which would be **aujamah)
- Innovatio II
- Loss of final -i in the ind. pres. ("weak")
- avajs 'you have, he has' ( < *habaiþ < PGmc. *habaiþi AND < *habais < PGmc. *habaisi)
-jō -jā -aisi -ajs -aiþi -ajs -jum -jum -aiþ -ajs -janþi -jan
- Innovatio III
- The subclasses of w-Class III merge with the stative -ja- spreading into the factitive in the present, while the factitive -a- forms spread to the past. The past participle is formed with *-adaz, present with *-(i)jandz
- Innovatio IV
- The spread of -janā to the infinitive from the I and III class to the rest.
- wrissājanā, salbājanā
Class I
s-class I
A lot of things happen here:
As for *brūkaną, it's moved into class 2b of the strong verbs but keeps weak participle: briūk-, brauk-, brukadaz -> briūk-, brauk, brukara
then, *būanā joins the third weak class as būjanā (būās, būrāze, būra)
s-class II
todo
s-class III
to a large extent, merged with Class III, with verbs showing alternation between -a- and -i- in the past.
