Reconstruction talk:Proto-Germanic/slīkaną

Not attested in Middle and modern Dutch, apparently; but the Low Franconian dialects in Germany do have schlieke. Probably also Limburgish in the Netherlands as slieke, *sjlieke, though I don't fully understand the definition at Limburgish wiktionary ("sleipendj róndjbaere", thus apparently something like "to drag"). It seems plausible then that synonymous Dutch sluiken (since 17th c.) is nothing other than a blend between *slijken and sluipen. But none of the Dutch dictionaries mention this possibility.

It's hypothesized that slikken (to swallow) might be from Proto-Germanic slīkaną (+influenced by Dutch slokken). See: [1] Morgengave (talk) 06:15, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
