*klaimjaną

[edit]

@CodeCat, JohnC5: Kroonen claims *klaimijaną (to smear) is a denominative verb of *klaimaz (clay), but I'm wondering if it's rooted in a PIE causative form instead, given the identical meaning. --Victar (talk) 21:51, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

I don't think we can tell. Can we? —CodeCat 21:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I suppose not. --Victar (talk) 22:29, 4 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Also, why would the causative acquire an *m? —JohnC5 05:15, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
You're absolute right. I only realized that after I posted. --Victar (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
