Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Germanic loans in Proto-Samic

For future reference: *a > *ō in Proto-Samic was later than *ē > *ā in North Germanic, so any PS entry that has *ā in correspondence to a Germanic *a (or *ā), as in e.g., is better marked as a loan from Proto-Norse than Proto-Germanic.

(I guess it would be also possible to add Northwest Germanic as a "PG dialect", similar to what we do with Proto-Uralic vs. Proto-Finno-Ugric, but this doesn't seem like a move that would have terribly numerous benefits.)
