sviger-

== Danish == === Etymology === Borrowed from German schwieger- (“-in-law”), extracted from Schwiegermutter (“mother-in-law”), older Schwieger, from Proto-Germanic *swegrō, cognate with Old English sweġer. The word goes back to Proto-Indo-European *sweḱrúh₂ (“mother-in-law”), hence Latin socrus), Ancient Greek ἑκύρα (hekúra), Sanskrit श्वश्रूः (śvaśrū́ḥ). It is further related to *swéḱuros (“father-in-law”) (German Schwäher, Latin socer) and Proto-Indo-European *swēḱurós (“husband's brother”) (German Schwager, hence Danish svoger). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /sviːˀər-/, [ˈsʋ̥iˀɐ-] === Prefix === sviger- -in-law ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== svoger == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === From German schwieger-. === Prefix === sviger- -in-law === See also === “sviger-” in The Bokmål Dictionary. == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From German schwieger-. === Prefix === sviger- -in-law === See also === “sviger-” in The Nynorsk Dictionary.
