Given it's been two weeks, I'm willing to simply reveal the word.

I don't think it's taken this long because it's too hard. It's just that the only person guessing has been too busy to keep the game moving along.
Anyway, was the <e> originally *e?

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Does it mean something like "mildness, softness, tenderness"?
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Yes! Well, it's a little bit more narrow than that. Generally used more like "mercy, compassion, sympathy".

Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
"Sufficient" is my stupid phone's auto-correct for "suffixing".shimobaatar wrote: ↑05 Feb 2019 17:46I’m not sure what you mean by “sufficient”, but they’re both nouns.
Edit: Actually, I should probably mention that the -s- is a suffix, but it’s not relevant to the meaning.
Re: Guess the Word in Germanic Conlangs
Did the first noun begin with a vowel in PG?
