Proto-West Germanic

	A user suggests that this Proto-West Germanic reconstruction entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “All forms with an underlying long vowel must be removed here. You know that they are not from this and can't be from this. People will spread this etymon to all related entries (rightly so if they are given here), creating impossible etymologies that violate all sound laws.”
	Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup⁽⁺⁾ for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
