Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prefixal S in Germanic, Together With the Etymologies of Fratze, Schraube, Guter Dinge: A Dissertation Submitted to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University in Conformity With the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The possibility of independent Germanic doublets with and without prefixal s affords also an explanation of a small group of words for which, as a class, no satisfactory cognates have hitherto been found, outside of Germanic. We learn that 8 is, or may be, prefixed to any root whatsoever, whether beginning with consonant or with vowel.2 It behooves us, then, to inquire what changes this 5, if so prefixed, may work on consonants following.
