Reconstruction talk:Proto-Germanic/afteraz

Derived terms
I've been trying to go through the daughter languages to work it all out:
 * *aftai > Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐌰, possibly Old English *æfte, æfteweard, Old Frisian efta
 * *aftanē > Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐌰𐌽𐌰, Old English æftan, Old High German *aftan-, Old Norse aptan
 * *afterô > Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐌰𐍂𐍉
 * *afti > Old English eft, possibly Old Norse ept, Old Frisian eft
 * *aftiri > Old Norse eptir, possibly Old Frisian efter

The comparatives/superlatives:


 * *aftrōst > Old Norse aptast
 * *aftrōstaz > Old English æft(e)resta, Old Frisian eftrosta, Old High German aftrōst(o?), Old Norse aptastr
 * *aftrōz > Old Norse aptarr
 * *aftrōzô > Old English æft(e)r(r)a, Old High German aftrōro, Old Norse aptari (but also eptri < *aft(r)izô)
 * *aftumistaz > Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐌿𐌼𐌹𐍃𐍄𐍃, Old English æftemest
 * *aftumô > Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐌿𐌼𐌰

The biggest hurdle I've had is whether Old English æfter, Old High German aftar, Old Norse aptr and Gothic 𐌰𐍆𐍄𐍂𐌰 should all be connected as *aftra, or separated into *after and *aftra. I could assume that *aftra might be an adverb in the accusative *aftra(t), similar to *wiþra. I'm not really sure though. Anglom (talk) 18:07, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
