- ^ There is no clear scholarly consensus as to whether <ggw> resulting from VerschΓ€rfung was pronounced with a nasal or not. (Contrast words like ππΉπ²π²π
π°π½ (siggwan), where the <ggw> derives from Proto-Germanic *-ngw-, and which was very likely pronounced with a nasal.) For a selection of perspectives on the issue of whether or not there was an etymological distinction in how <ggw> was pronounced, refer to:
