Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/ili

Etymology
Likely an old t-stem, from earlier *ilit, from Pre-Germanic *ilid.

Noun

 * 1)  sole of the foot

Inflection
Like and, the nominative singular form lacks the final consonant of the stem. This preserves an old sound change from late PIE, where word-final *-t becomes *-d. According to Grimm's Law, *t shifted to *þ, and *d shifted to *t. Following this, word-final *-t was lost regularly.
