Reconstruction talk:Proto-Germanic/spitą
Add topicLatest comment: 5 years ago by Mnemosientje
@Leasnam Do you happen to remember where you got the LL. -> (Old) Italian etymology from? I am interested in this because the geographic distribution of the loanwords into Romance (note the Iberian Romance loans) seems to me to possibly suggest a Gothic derivation for spito, rather than a Frankish one. I am also puzzled by the t in spito versus the d of spidus (which is from the Reichenau Glosses and thus probably indeed is Frankish in origin, given that those were written down in Picardy). — Mnemosientje (t · c) 07:03, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
