Radestrian

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Middle Radestrian gjo, from Old Radestrian ɣo, inherited from Proto-Radic *ɣo, from Proto-Hirdic *gho, from Proto-Laenkean *g(ʱ)e/o(j?)-. The fronting of the vowel in Modern Radestrian is somewhat unexplained, but it is generally thought to have developed through a medial **gjə. Compare also the dialectal gju.
