@yvanspijk I’m not sure the as-stems were that productive in the earliest loans at all. Neither trisyllables (trisyllabic stem types were rare in Pre-Finnic).
A Finnic word like ”kuningas” is hardly from #ProtoGermanic, at least not early #PGmc. NW-Germanic yes. In fact I don’t think it even occurs in Gothic (it was reiks!) so NW-Germanic is the probable age of this loan (despite the misinformation in all the handbooks).

Have you seen those posts that are like "Don't be passive, this isn't Twitter, introduce yourself and participate in conversations" ? I'm taking them to heart and I'll be posting not just one, but three or four #introductions aimed at different audiences.
