Skundavisk
Etymology
From Middle Skundavisk -the, -þue, from Old Skundavisk -iþō, from Halmisk -iþō, from Proto-Germanic *-iþō.
Pronunciation
IPA: /θə/
Suffix
-the f. (genitive -the, plural -ther)
- -th (used to form nouns from adjectives)
- foul > fylthe
- foul > filth
- foul > fylthe
Usage notes
The original /i/ vowel linking the adjective and the suffix caused umlaut of the main root-vowel. This umlaut was later applied through analogy to nouns that were formed after the fall of this /i/.
