Reconstruction talk:Proto-West Germanic/skinkō

Forms of "skunk-", the zero-grade. I don't know if it should really be "skunkô" or another stem. So I don't create an entry:


 * (att. 1626)
 * (att. 1579 or older; especially Upper German, also Central German)
 * (att. 1626)
 * (att. 1579 or older; especially Upper German, also Central German)
 * (att. 1626)

Regarding the late attestations DWB (1899) says: "man wird also annehmen, dasz es eine altererbte gemeindeutsche nebenform mit echtem ablaut ist. auffällig ist zwar, dasz es in den ältern sprachperioden (ahd., mhd., mnd.) gar nicht auftritt, doch ist auch schinken nicht gerade häufig belegt." This is confirmed by Pfeifer (Etymologisches Wörterbuch, 1993) and Van Veen/Van der Sijs (Etymologisch Woordenboek, 1997), who also consider it an old zero-grade.
