32 V. Maþiulis * 59. Suf. *-ôn was used to form consonant-stem nomina agentis. This may be traced in Pr. (III) perôni ‘community’ < Pr. *perônç, the latter having been derived from a deverbal consonant-stem substantive *perôn ‘pressing smth. together by means of whipping’, which had been derived in its turn from Balt. v. *per- ‘to whip’ with Balt. suf. *-ôn (for another explanation cf. PEÞ III 267 f. and * 60). Yet it is not clear, whether suf. *-ôn can be traced in Pr. ackons (E) ‘awn’ (PEÞ I 64 f.), ansonis (E) ‘oak-tree’ (PEÞ I 82 ff.). * 60. Suf. *-`n is traced in Pr. (E) medione ‘hunt(ing)’ = *med’¯Énç (PEÞ III 122) 21 . * 61. Suf. *-sn` and b) *-sen` /-senis (for -is cf. Endzelîns SV 47) are widely represented in the Catechisms. They derive verbal substantives from infinitive stems, e.g.: a) aumûsnan ‘washing off’, bi`snan ‘fearing’, acc. etskîsnan ‘resurrection’, nom. etwerpsn` ‘forgiveness’, girsnan ‘praising’, rickaûsnan ‘governing’, segisna ‘doing’, etc.; b) nom. atskisenna ‘resurrection’, acc. etwerpsennian ‘forgiveness’, -gimsennien ‘birth’, crixtissennien ‘baptizing’. For origin of the suf. *-sn` and *-sen` /-senis (as well as for Pr. E *lauk-sn` ‘star’) cf. PEÞ I 151–153 (s.v. bousennis) and PEÞ III 53 (s.v. lauxnos) 22 . 21 There is a “suf. -Ù`n” in the author’s original text of HGOP, p. 28. But cf. PEÞ III 122: “Pr. *med’¯Énç < *medj`nç is derived from Pr. v. *medj`-(tvei) ‘to hunt in a forest (E median)’ with a suf. *-(`)nç”. Since -Ùa is a stem ending in the word median < *medjan , one could see lengthening in verbal stems like *medj`-(tvei) – cf. also a precise parallel Lith. dial. medþiõnë ‘hunting’ < v. medþioti < *medj`ti. In this case suffixes *-`nç in Pr. mediane, Lith. medþiõnë, abejõnë, svajõnë etc. in palatal stems, Lith. raudõnë, vakarõnë etc. in hard stems, are complex. They were derived with lengthening of a stem vowel in verbs (infinitives) *-(Ù)a > *-(Ù)` + suf. *-nç. Cf. * 52 f. and Skardþius ÞD, p. 272, 276. – L.P. 22 J. Endzelîns l.c. considers suf. -senis < *-senîs to be an innovation in accordance with such verbal substantives as Pr. Ùa-stem kirtis, îdis. V. Maþiulis derives suffixes Pr. -sena, Lith. -sena, Latv. -ðana from Balt. adj. masc., neut. *-sÙena (> *-sena) /*-sÙana, but fem. *-sÙen` (> -sen`) /*-sÙan`. He considers segment *-sÙ- to be of a modal meaning near to Baltic “proto-future”, but he identifies segments *-ena, *-ana with corresponding Baltic suffixes *-ena, *-ana. As for Pr. suf. -sn`, V. Maþiulis derives it from a
HISTORICAL GRAMMAR OF OLD PRUSSIAN Suffixes with a consonant -m- * 62. There is a group of numerals with a suf. *-ma- in Prussian: sepmas I ‘seventh’ (PEÞ IV 102), acc. asman III ‘eighth’ (PEÞ I 103), pirmas I ‘first’ (PEÞ III 284). It seems to have been the analogy of *pirmas ‘first’, after which Pr. adjective *pansdauma- ‘last’ (pansdaumannien III, cf. Endzelîns SV 47, PEÞ III 219 with bibl.) was formed. There are also adjectives with a suff. *-im- in Prussian: *auktima- ‘high (prominent)’ (cf. PEÞ I 114 ff. s.v. aucktimmien), *deznima- ‘frequent’ (cf. PEÞ II 290 f. s.v. kudesnammi), *ilgima- ‘long’ (PEÞ II 294 s.v. kuilgimai). In adj. *auktuma- ‘tall’ a suffix *-um- may be traced (cf. PEÞ I 116 s.v. Auctume). * 63. Pr. suf. (a-/`-stem) adj. *-ôma- ( cf. nom. pl. tickrômai ‘rightful’, -tickrôms ‘righteous’) may be reconstructed as a composition of (consonant-stem nominative) *-ôn- + *-ma-, cf. Lith. *maþô(n) + *-ma- > adj. *maþuoma- --> subst. maþ ƒuom-enë ‘minority; pauperdom’ (for another view cf. Skardþius ÞD 237, Ambrazas DDR II 60 with bibl.). Suffixes with a consonant -l- * 64. Pr. suf. *-el-/-al- is well attested in (E), cf. areli[s] ‘eagle’ = *arelîs (PEÞ I 90). It is diminutive in patowelis ‘stepfather’ = *pat¯Éwelîs (PEÞ III 234), podalis ‘(worthless) pot’ < *pôdalîs (PEÞ III 302). Pr. suf. *-il- is represented in (E): sirsilis ‘hornet’ = *sirsilîs (PEÞ IV 116 f.), wobilis ‘clover’ = *(v)¯Ébil is (PEÞ IV 259). * 65. With Pr. suf. *-ail- resp. *-eil- are derived (E): scritayle ‘rim’ = *skritailç (PEÞ IV 124 f.), [c]rupeyle ‘frog’ = *krupeilç (PEÞ II 287 f.). much more archaic (IE) epoch and divides it into modal IE *-s- and IE suf. adj. *-no-, which (i.e. Balt. *-na-) may be traced either in Balt. suf. *-ena, *-ana. For all this cf. PEÞ I 153. Nevertheless the difference between *-sen` and *-sn` may have originated in binomial relation between barytone and oxytone forms in Western Baltic (not in Prussian itself!). – L.P. 33
