ford

Etymology

From the oblique stem of Proto-Indo-European *pér-tu-s ~ *pr̥-téw-s (‘crossing’). Equivalent to unattested *feraną (‘to cross’) + *-þuz. The nominative stem gave rise to *ferþuz. In the nominative the stress fell on the root, and as such *ferþuz does not display the effects of Verner's law seen in *furduz, which has generalized the oblique stem.
