mistake

"ē and æ are also transcribed as ē1 and ē2;" the values should be reversed, right? To quote the article, "Krahe treats ē2 (secondary ē) as identical with ī." So, ē2 is a higher vowel than ē1. So why does the article say e2 = æ ?! Jakob37 15:34, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

orrowed from Germanic during the Proto-Germanic phase

Some loan-words from early Germanic which exist in neighbouring non-Germanic languages are believed to have been borrowed from Germanic during the Proto-Germanic phase; an example is Finnish and Estonian kuningas "king", which closely resembles the reconstructed Proto-Germanic *kuningaz.^[1]

Can be borrowed from Germanic before its existence ?
