frēgōną
[edit]German 'fragen' is a descendent. 212.17.68.163 10:07, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- German fragen and Dutch vragen both derive from a weak verb which is derived from the noun that became 'Frage' in German. The noun itself is derived from this verb, but it's a different kind of relationship and the words are not direct descendants. —CodeCat 10:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Seems like the Continental terms could be derived from the variant "frēgōną". Since the Low German cognate is also the source for Swedish "fråga", the form might warrant its own article. Wakuran (talk) 10:18, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Present stem
[edit]Makes more sense for the present stem to be *frehn-, yes? Gothic regularized it one way where Northwest Germanic went the other. Anglom (talk) 19:36, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
