Okay, Prim. Germanic, I'm finding, is *batham. So...I'm looking
through Wright's Grammar...and I'm a little overwhelmed...It's been a
little more than 20 minutes and, as it's not the most user friendly
text, I'm not sure where to find something that actually compares PG to
how it evolved into Gothic. I found a comparison chart but it didn't
tell me what to do with initial B, medial TH, or final -M, let alone
the morpheme -AM, so I'm a little lost right now...
I really, really want to do this, so I'm looking more for a hint than
the answer, really...but just very overwhelmed. I wish I'd been able
to study linguistics more but determined to learn this with or without
the best formal education.
