Representative branches are very roughly divided into somewhat inaccurate, but useful, groups: Proto-Germanic, "High West Germanic", "Low West Germanic", "Insular North Germanic" and North Germanic respectively. "Insular" refers to the English-Scots continuum. "High" and "low" roughly represent the respective ends of the mainland continuum. Frisian may fall under either of these depending, simply for convenience. North is usually represented by Old Norse unless descendants disagree. Multiple reflexes may occur in one cell, and cells may merge.

Apostrophe, tilde, parentheses and brackets represent various considerations. Filch forms with an apostrophe show what disqualified cognates would look like. The final word in bold matches all branches well enough to be selected.

====Internal derivation====
Words are regularly derived from PG as much as possible but if the result is a bad compromise between branches various excuses are available to nudge it in the desired direction: perhaps it was from a slightly different stem; perhaps it was changed by analogy; perhaps it was not directly inherited but loaned at some point from a neighbouring variety.
The word stock is mostly Germanic but loans that are thoroughly entrenched across the board (e.g. {{ash|cyrce}}) can make the cut.
====Phrases====
When all else fails there might be a phrase that's cross-compatible when no single word is.

However {{ash|full}} can sometimes also be followed by a singular or plural indefinite article that may seem like a preposition.

There isn't necessarily a strict pronunciation system meant to be followed, but in the spirit of maximising intelligibility also here, these are the baseline.

Spelling is largely phonetic, the main exception being {{ash|⟨sch⟩}} for {{IPA|[ʃx~ʃç]}} with an etymological {{ash|⟨c⟩}} to aid in recognition.
