Die frühe voraltsächsische und voraltfriesische Runenüberlieferung
Abstrak
AbstractThis paper deals with two runic inscriptions that are highly relevant to language history. 1. The runic sequences on the three Weser rune bones, which date to the first half of the 5th century, are not entirely clear. However, West Germanic (Pre-Old Saxon) linguistic features such as gemination byj(kunni‘kin, clan’) and loss of -a< *-az(hari‘army’) are obvious. By far the most interesting linguistic form is the preteritedede‘did’ that reflects PGmc. *-dai(cf. PNorsetalgi-dai‘carved’ on the Nøvling fibula) as opposed to PGmc. *-dǣ(d)(PNorse-da, OHG -taetc.). Apparently, we are dealing with two distinct endings, *-daideriving from an PIE middle in *-(t)ói̯. 2. The legendska2nomodu(a2 = ᚪ) on a solidus of unknown provenance (ca. 600) renders the dithematic anthroponymSkānɔmōdə̣(or *Skānɵmōdə̣), presumably the name of the moneyer. It seems that medialostands for [ɔ] or [ɵ], an allophonic variant of the linking element /a/ before a labial consonant; parallels can be found in Old Germanic naming. Two linguistic features, viz.ā< WGmc. *auand the nominative ending -ə̣< WGmc. -a< PGmc. *-az, indicate that the language of the inscription is Pre-Old Frisian.
