Proto-West Germanic

[edit]
A user suggests that this Proto-West Germanic reconstruction entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “This can't be correct. Standard German and Frisian both show /ks/ < /xs/. All dialects with /s/ have the same as their regular outcome of /xs/ (including Luxembourgish, cf. Fuuss, wuessen). The source (Ringe) apparently also reconstructs *þīhslu, to which this should be moved.”
Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
