Proto-Germanic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Pre-Germanic *suḱnéh₂-, a zero-grade iterative to Proto-Indo-European *sewḱ- (“to suck”). The verb(s) *sūkaną/*sūganą ("to suck") very likely represent a back-formation from the iterative, as the expected outcome from inheritance would be *seuhaną.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]*sukkōną
- to suck
Inflection
[edit]The original paradigm consisted of two stem variants, *sukk- against *sug-.
