*audagōną
Runic: ᚨᚢᛞᚨᚷᛟᚾᚨ Pronunciation: /ˈɑu̯.ðɑ.ɣɔː.nɑ̃/verb · Weak class 2
Meanings
to enrich; make wealthy or prosperous
Etymology
From *audagaz + *-ōną, as a factitive, literally ‘make wealthy’. Reconstruction is supported by Old English ēadgian, ēadigian, Old Norse auðga, and Old High German giōtagōn (Bosworth & Toller 2014: s.v. eádigan; de Vries 1977: s.v. auðga; Lühr 2017: s. v. ôtagên). Their North–West Germanic agreement supports the Proto-Germanic reconstruction, although parallel formation remains possible because *-ōną was productive. Gothic instead has the separately formed Weak class 1 verb 𐌰𐌿𐌳𐌰𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 (audagjan) (Lehmann 1986a: 47, s.v. audags).
