a question on protogermanic

[Ca Putt]

short question:

what is the singular(provided there is one^^) of Dugunthiz, Jugunthiz, Herunautoz, Skaduganganz and Wargozez probably.

thanks in advance.

My uneducated guess would be Dugunthi, Jugunthi, Herunauto, Skadugangan, and Wargoze.

hmm simple extra "z" as plural, could work. Thanks for answering at all, doen't seem to be one of the most popular topics right now, I think I should rename the thread to something like "EB-Babe Pic collection"

I remember seeing somewhere that "oz" was plural in some Proto-Germanic, so the "Herunautoz" could be the "Herunaut" in singular. But that doesn't quite look right and I know nothing about Proto-Germanic.

That was my idea too - an uneducated guess based on modern Dutch.

So I would say Dugunth, Jugunth, Herunaut, Skadugangan and Wargoz.

Jugunth I suppose most be correct seeing that in German we have a D there (Jugend). Probably comming from the th. In dutch there's also a d sound (Jeugd). In English we have youth.

So putting that in perspective with the other words it seems to be that you'd have z to make it plurarl. As in English, Dutch and German. Bound by a vowel. Tough I have no clue on what the choice of vowel is based for each word.

Either way blitz or gamegeek2 will probably enlighten us soon.
