Reconstruction talk:Proto-West Germanic/kweban

Form
OHG attests a regular class 5 strong verb here. On what ground is a j-present reconstructed for PWG? —Rua (mew) 18:12, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Old Norse and because the previous entry already had be reconstructed as a j-present. Although I wasn't certain if it should be a weak verb or a strong verb. Koebler claimed it was a class 5 strong verb. My uncertainty came from the fact that Kroonen claimed 🇨🇬 to be from 🇨🇬; so I was confused if 🇨🇬 was at some point strong and then became weak or if it was always weak. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 18:43, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * If Middle High German is any indication, umlauted ā is indicated with the letter æ in MHG. It thus seems that must have a short vowel, and can't come from . It must reflect a form with either e or umlauted a. But umlauted a would require a j-present, which would also cause gemination because the syllable is light. So if this came from, then what happened to the gemination in OHG? —Rua (mew) 19:02, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Give that 🇨🇬 doesn't possess germination, I'm guessing that there was no . So from my understanding of you explanation this verb should be 🇨🇬. If this is the case, then I think 🇨🇬, should be changed into a weak verb that is derived from 🇨🇬. While I did say I based this reconstruction on Old Norse, I actually made a mistake as I though 🇨🇬, to be a denominative of . Koebler gives 🇨🇬,  as weak, as does Kroonen. If OHG is 5 class strong, then we can assume  to be a causative of . 🇨🇬 could be explained as being a denominative derived from ; with  being from 🇨🇬. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 21:57, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Do you want to make the entries? —Rua (mew) 11:32, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yup, I'll make them right away. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 19:00, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
