Each of them has a cognate in Old Norse: ben ‘fatal wound’, vin ‘oasis’ and syn ‘refusal’. None of the West-Germanic languages preserves all three nouns. All are short, feminine jō-stems with an -n- in front of the stem suffix. The main issue discussed here is the etymology and formation of these nouns.}, doi = {10.4467/20834624SL.16.007.5153}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-linguistica-uic/artykul/gothic-banja-winja-and-sunja} }
