Proto-Germanic

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *-dyé- (verbal suffix). Cognate with Ancient Greek -άζω (-ázō).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ɑt.jɑ.nɑ̃/

Verb

*-atjaną

  1. Creates intensive verbs.

Inflection

Judging from the inflection of this suffix in Gothic 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍀𐌰𐍃𐍄𐌴𐌳𐌿𐌽 (kaupastēdun) and 𐌺𐌰𐌿𐍀𐌰𐍃𐍄𐌴𐌳𐌹 (kaupastēdi), the past lacked the suffix -i- and was therefore inflected like a j-present.
