Is the origin of Germanic dental preterit the PIE dheh1- 'to set, to
place, to make, to do' ?
If so, this means that initially -dheh1 was a deitic particle having
his own meaning.
I would like to ask what could be the original meaning of this particle
<Verb> + <dHeh1> ?
Should be similar as for the nouns&adjective constructions in -dHeh1?
The origin of Germanic dental preterit is linked or not with
Lithuanian -damas forms?
Thanks for the feedback,
Marius
