Sorry about the multiple posts, I just keep finding more stuff in<br>
there, just when I think I'm done... Malone also discusses the tribal<br>
name that appears in Widsith in the dative as 'Hæleþum', from which<br>
comes the Old English poetic synonym "man". He notes that the vowel of<br>
the suffix was originally 'u' in the precursor of English, as in Old<br>
Norse 'hölðar', with the development in the nominative: *haluþi ><br>
*halyþi > *hæliþi > hæleþ. The root vowel of the nominative was then<br>
extended by analogy to the dative, hence Hæleþum rather than *Haloþum.<br>
It's also attested as a personal name declined as a masculine ôn-stem:<br>
Hæleþa. But as a poetic synonym, it was still (more or less) treated<br>
as a cononant stem in Old English [<br>
<a href="http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/resources/IOE/inflnoun.html">http://www.wmich.<wbr>edu/medieval/<wbr>resources/<wbr>IOE/inflnoun.<wbr>html</a> ].<br>
<br>
Now, my question (for folks with more knowledge of the prehistory of<br>
Continental West Germanic) is: can we say anything about the original<br>
vowel of the suffix there? Hildebrandslied has 'helidôs', and I'd<br>
always assumed that the 'i' was original, but could it too be due to<br>
umlaut in unstressed position, or does it come from the Proto-Germanic<br>
'i' grade after all?<br>
