adja-stembright, shining, white, gleaming, blindingA late formation from *blinkaną (‘to shine, blink’), with the *-i-interpreted as an e-grade vowel. Thus, its formation must have followed the raising of *e to *i before a nasal + consonant, rendering such an analysis possible. Doublet of *blaikaz (‘pale, white’, < * blīkaną, ‘to gleam; shine’).
