Hello all, |

Is anyone else also dissatisfied with the 'Proto-Germanic' terms given? |

Two issues to discuss: |

1) They are clearly not PGmc forms as produced by linguists. A more appropriate representation would be ''*kōniz'' and ''*rēdaz''. (The citation given for 'conja' and 'rad' is of course not a reputable work of historical linguistics.) |
|||
2) There is no evidence provided for this name having existed in the Proto-language: I am familiar only evidence for it appearing in OHG. Perhaps others are more familiar? Of course, the ultimate origin of the compound lies in Germanic. |

The line in question: |

'It is derived from the Proto-Germanic name Konrad, from conja meaning "bold" and rad "counsel".[1]' |

Proto-Germanic
Hello all,
Is anyone else also dissatisfied with the 'Proto-Germanic' terms given?
Two issues to discuss:
1) They are clearly not PGmc forms as produced by linguists. A more appropriate representation would be *kōniz and *rēdaz. (The citation given for 'conja' and 'rad' is of course not a reputable work of historical linguistics.)
2) There is no evidence provided for this name having existed in the Proto-language: I am familiar only evidence for it appearing in OHG. Perhaps others are more familiar? Of course, the ultimate origin of the compound lies in Germanic.
The line in question:
'It is derived from the Proto-Germanic name Konrad, from conja meaning "bold" and rad "counsel".[1]'
All the best.
