SCHOLARLY DISAGREEMENT
DISPUTE POSITIONS THAT CITE THIS SOURCE
resolvedcontextestablished
Are *daigjōn-, *daiga-, and dough *daigaz one interchangeable reconstructed word?
No. They are related formation, stem, and noun shapes with different grammatical and lexical roles.
dheigh- items 1 and 3Distinguishes dairy and dough formations.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does dough descend from lady or lady from dough?
Neither. The dough noun and lady’s kneading component follow separate Germanic formations that meet at *dheigh-.
dheigh- items 2 and 3Distinguishes lady’s *dīg- branch from dough’s *daigaz branch.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Is the asterisked dough trail a chain of written words?
No. *daigaz, *dhoigh-o-, *dheigh-, and *dheig̑h- are comparative reconstructions, not manuscript spellings.
Asterisked reconstructed forms in the dheigh- entryMarks the comparative forms as reconstructions.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does feign descend from faint or feint?
No direct descent is established here. The root appendix groups them under the same nasalized shaping formation, while feign has its own documented French and Latin chain.
dheigh- item 5Groups feign, faint, and feint under one root formation.
resolvedcontextestablished
Does fiction descend from figure?
No. Latin fictiō and figūra are sibling formations in the fingere and *dheigh- family; neither English word is the parent of the other.
dheigh- items 4 and 5Lists figure and fiction under distinct formations.
resolvedsupportsestablished
Does figure descend from dough because both mean something shaped?
