What are the sound changes you consider most likely for -mn- if PGmc * bariyumnya+ / -fn- = womb/haven/port > Fabiranum \ Fabrianum ; Bremen ?


Something like:


bariyumnya+
bariyumna+ (dis.)
bariyumna+ bariyuBna+
bariyumna+ bariyuBna+ bariyußna+
bariyumna+ bariyuBna+ bariyußna+ bariyuFna+
bariyïmna+
bariyëmna+
bariyëmna+ bariyamna+
bariymna+ bariyamna+
barimna+ bariyamna+

>

barimna+
bramina+

bariyaFna+
Fabriyana+


(note: this isn't a response to the last time -mn- in PGmc was discussed here, but I couldn't find anything else from later.)
