*peh₁-
a proposed base associated with harm, blame, suffering, or hate
- SOUND
- The proposed analysis connects the Germanic fi(j)- verb to a laryngeal-bearing Indo-European base through prehistoric present-stem remodeling; intermediate formal analyses vary and are not presented as written stages.
- MEANING
- A proposed harm, blame, suffering, or hostility field develops toward the Germanic verb hate, but the original semantic center is not uniquely recoverable.
- CHRONOLOGY
- Proposed Proto-Indo-European base to Proto-Germanic reconstruction.
- SCHOLAR
- Guus Kroonen
- CONFIDENCE
