Proto-Norse
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *-anaz, the ending of all past participles of strong verbs, itself from Proto-Indo-European *-nós. The shift of *-an- to -in- can also be seen ᛗᛁᚾᛁᚾᛟ (minino) from Proto-Germanic *mīnanǭ. For more information see Ringe 2014, pages 18-20.
Suffix
-ᛁᚾᚨᛉ (-inaʀ)
- Denotes the past participle form of a strong verb.
Usage notes
- This suffix causes a-umlaut in Old Norse (e.g. in brotinn (“broken”), from Proto-Germanic *brutanaz), and should thus have done so already in Proto-Norse (cf. ᚺᛟᚱᚾᚨ (horna, “horn”) from Proto-Germanic *hurną). However, due to the small corpus, no instance of this is attested.
