Niwa Waurda

[llama_nom]

> niwa waurda

niuja waurda (cf. 2Cor 5:17 sai, waurþun niuja alla).

> *usdammjan (1) "stop up, dam up, fill in (a gap)"

Would the attested word 'faurdammjan' serve?

> *muldigs (A) "dusty"

I think there may be a tendency, not perfectly adhered to, to use the
suffix -eig- after a long root, -ig- after a short root.  Hope I've
got that the right way round...

> *afnimeins (fI/O) "removal, withdrawal, resettlement" (att. Go. afniman)

This applies to the recent proposal *-mitains too: I think these
endings -eins, -ons, -ains are just used to create abstract nouns from
weak verbs.  How about *afnumts, fi, by analogy with 'andanumts'
"receiving, acceptance"?

> *weisteigs (A) natural, according to nature or birth

Or: *wisteigs, cf. wists "nature".

> riqizjan

This is attested with an intransitive sense: sauil riqizeiþ jah mena
ni gibiþ liuhaþ sein (Mk 13:24).
