From: "Piotr Gasiorowski" <

But what is PTeut?? If you mean "Proto-Teutonic", if it now
generally called Proto-Germanic; but the PGmc reflex of _PIE_
*prtú-s is *furd-.
Sorry, Piotr, but when I use OED I simply follow their terminology.
I am aware that PC has caught up with lingustics and that it is no
longer proper to say "pre-Teutonic" even if most people will know
what it means. So, Proto-Germanic is just playing with words. I
wonder if OED will change all their
Pre-Teutonic and Aryan to Proto and PIE - a massive job.
As for your correction of PIE *prtus- to PGmc *furd , here again I
was merely following OED. Perhaps, you should write to the Editor
pointing out their error?
This is their text: "OHG. furt (MHG. vurt, mod.Ger. furt):-WGer.
*furdu-z:-pre-Teut. *prtú-s.
