Voyles´ on Verschärfung Friggjar
"This change occurs in 3 stages:
Stage 1) j-jj (?ij) / w-ww (?uw) [Vowel plus stressed]____plus Vowel
(where "plus" is a word-internal morpheme boundary)
Stage 2) jj-Gj / ww-Gw
Stage 3) G - gg / _____j or w
Dæmi (examples): Primitive nom. sg. "treu - az" (true), the feminine
în-class noun "brû - î - ô" (landing bridge) (where brû = "bruu"),
the feminine jô-class "fri - j - ô" (proper name) and the infinitive
"hau - an" (hew) ------- treu-az - trew-az; brû-î-ô - bruw-î-ô;
fri-j-ô - fri-j-ô; haw-an (Verschärfung eventually) ------- Old
Icelandic tryggr, bryggja, Frigg, höggva.
Verschärfung cannot apply in the following instances: nom. sg. masc.
"neu-jaz" (new), the ja-class neuter noun "hau-ja" (hey), the infs.
"hau-jan" (do) and "fri-ôn" (love) (eventually) ------- Old
Icelandic nýr, hey, heyja, frjá.
There are two types of cases that present problems for our version
of Verschärfung. The first of them is exemplified by Old Icelandic
"snúa" vs. Old Swedish "snugga" (to look askance at), both from
Primitive Norse "snû-an" (to turn). Verschärfung has been applied
only to the later form. The reason for this may have been that /û/
could be optionally interpreted as /uw/: Verschärfung would apply
to "snúw-an", but not to "snû-an".
The second problem involves developments like the following:
Primitive Norse nom. sing. masc. "fau-az" (few), the n-class fem.
noun "hau-ô" (aftermath) and the a-class neuter noun "kneu-a"
(eventually) ------- Norræna fár, há, kné. There are two
difficulties here: one of them is that the antecedent forms seem to
fulfill the conditions for Verschärfung, so that one would expect
Norræna "föggr", "höggva"(norrænt Ö frá A) and "knögg" (danskt Ö).
the other is that even if Verschärfung does not apply, the normal
development of Primitive Norse /au/ into Old Icelandic is not /a/.
That is, even without Verschärfung one would expect Old Icelandic
"faur" and "hafa" instead of "fár" and "há".
The resolution of these difficulties may lie in the fact that the
Primitive Norse forms "fau-az", "hau-ô" and "kneu-a" were reanalyzed
morphologically to "fa-uaz", "ha-uô" and "kne-ua" (i-j/w-w) -------
"fa-waz", "ha-wô" and "kne-wa" ------- namely a wa/wô-class
adjective, a wôn-class fem. noun and a wa-class neuter noun. Two
facts emerge here: first, Verschärfung cannot apply to these forms;
and second, the Old Icelandic expanded version of STR. V LENGTH can.
Therefore, "fa-waz", "há-wô", "kné-wa" (STR. V LENGTH) -------
"fâ-waz", "hâ-wô", "knê-wa" (eventually) ------ Old Icelandic fár,
há, kné."
The dating of Stage 1 of Verschärfung is based on the attestation of
the proper name "niuwila", not "niggwila", in what Noreen (1923/1970:
165) refers to as "the Næsbjærg" and Krause (1971:163) as "the
Skonager" inscription. It dates from sometime during the 400s A.D."
