Addenda zum Etymologischen Wörterbuch der friesischen Adjektiva, Teil III

Abstract

When the Etymologisches Wörterbuch der friesischen Adjektiva appeared in 2010, the author was well aware that with the complexity of the Frisian linguistic situation and its often unpublished handwritten sources, he would have missed one or two interesting adjectives. Thirteen additional Frisian adjectives have meanwhile been found in other until now less regarded lexicographic material: germ. *auþa‑ ‘easy’, *ferhwta‑ ‘endowed with a good spirit’, *gillja‑ ‘gaping, protruding’, *hlaupja‑ ‘unpicking, riving’, *krupila‑ ‘crippled’, *lega‑ ‘lying’, *lunka‑ ‘smirched, blotted’, *mūka‑ ‘mellow’, *slunka‑ ‘of reduced quality’, *stamara‑ ‘stammering’, *stamma‑ ‘talking inhibited’, *straka‑ ‘streched’, *sturra‑ ‘stiff, standing off rigidly’. These adjectives will be subjected to an etymological investigation below. This article is the third supplement with such analyses.
