which Slavi verb resemble almost perfectly the German "m�gen. In plural
the difference in the pronounciation being just the consononatel "g^"as
in French "j'ai" while in German the "g" remained unaltered.
That appears to me a bit curious this almost perfect resamblance. The
verbal desinences of course are different here (f.i. "wir m�gen" versus
"mi moz^em") but that looks like an adaptation to the respectively
language. Is this indeed a Slavic word or is this a loan in ProtoSlavic
from Germanic?
