𐌳𐌿𐌲𐌹𐌽𐌽𐌰𐌽

Etymology
Either from (a Gothic formation) or inherited from. There are no other Germanic cognates with the same prefix which could be used to support the Proto-Germanic verb of the second etymology, but the unprefixed verb of the first etymology is not attested in any Germanic language (which all except Gothic have descendants of the prefixed form, having the same meaning as this verb).

The element is not attested in any other Germanic languages, probably being an archaic inheritance from Proto-Germanic that was lost early on in other Germanic languages. The archaic nature of the prefix might seem to point to a Proto-Germanic inheritance for this verb, but its clear productivity in Gothic renders this pointer uncertain.

Verb

 * 1) to begin
