Fro promote, accomplish’). Akin to the  forms with a gradation, fram,, ‘brave, conducive,’ fremman, ‘to promote, accomplish’;   framr, ‘preferable,’ and fremja, ‘to execute.’ Also allied more remotely to the  terms for ‘primus.’ See , , , &c.  , , ‘frog,’ from the   vrosch,  frosk, ; corresponding to  vorsch,  forsc (  frosk),  froskr, ‘from’;  *frusqa- is by chance not recorded. Before the  sk a guttural has dropped out, as is seen in the cognate terms.  frogga,  frog, would be in  *frugga (*frugwa?); also akin to  frocca, earlier   frock, as well as  fraukr, ‘frog’ (so too  frûte, froute, ‘toad’).  *frusqa-, for *fruhsqa-, therefore be connected with a root ending in a guttural; perhaps the pre- root pruk?. Hence the attempts to connect the word with or, to which the meaning is also opposed, must be rejected.   ,, ‘frost, cold, chill,’ from the  vrost,  frost, ;   vorst,  forst,  frost,  frost, , ‘frost, cold’; a common  abstract of ,  *friusan. *frusta-,, , ‘frost,’ is wanting.   ,, ‘fruit, crop, product,’ from vruht,  fruht, , ‘fruit’; corresponding to  fruht,  vrucht,  frucht. Based on fructus, which perhaps at the same period as  and a number of botanical terms, found its way into German.   ,, , ‘early, premature(ly),’ from vrüeje, , ‘early,’ vruo, , ‘early’ (hence sometimes the  fruh unmodified);  fruoji,  fruo, , ‘early’;   vroeg,  and , ‘early.’  *frô (or rather *frauô for *frôô?), , is wanting. Pre- prô- appears also in πρωΐ, ‘early, early in the morning,’ πρωΐα,, ‘morning,’ πρώϊος, ‘early’; akin to  prâtar, , ‘early in the morning.’ Allied more remotely to , , , &c. (also ?). It is curious that the, in the sense of ‘early in the morning,’ is restricted to. In, , and it is wanting; the words used being  air,  ár,  œ̂r, ‘early in the morning’ (see ). Moreover, its special meaning was universally diffused at an early period. See.   ,, ‘spring,’ a of , early  only — from the 15th ;  is the old West  term.   ,, ‘fox, light bay horse, cunning person, freshman (univ.)’ from the  vuhs,  fuhs, ; corresponding to  vos,  and  fox;  *faúhs-,  (weak ), is not found. The s is a suffix, as in ; it is wanting, therefore, in the older  form,  foha,  vohe,, ‘vixen’ (also ‘fox,’  to  faúhô, , ‘fox,’  foa, ‘fox’). fox,, is used only in the figurative sense of ‘deceit.’ The  form  corresponds to  fyxen,  vixen. faúhô,, from pre- púkâ, makes it appear possible to connect the word phonetically with ,  fugls, pre- pukló-s, in case  puccha, ‘tail, train,’ is of a cognate stem;  and , meaning ‘tailed creatures,’ is quite possible. At all events, there is no connection with L. vulpes.   ,, earlier , ‘broadsword, a blow struck with it,’ first occurs in ; akin to.   ,, from the  vuoder,  fuodar, , ‘measure (varying from 36 to 72 bushels, of wine about 1200 bottles), waggon-load’;   fôthar,  voer,  fôþer, ‘measure, waggon-load,’  fother, fodder, a term in mining. Hence the common West term fôþr,, ‘waggon-load,’ from the  root faþ in. From, foudre is derived. <section end="Fuder" /> <section begin="Fug" /> ,, ‘adaptedness, due authority, right,’ from vuoc(g), , ‘propriety,’ as well as the  vuoge, ,  , akin to. <section end="Fug" /> <section begin="Fuge" /> ,, ‘fugue,’ first occurs in early , from fuga. <section end="Fuge" /> <section begin="fügen" /> ,, ‘to fit together, connect’; ‘to accommodate oneself,’ from  vüegen,  fuogen, ‘to shape or unite suitably’;   voegen,  gefêgan,  to fay (‘to suit, unite’);  *fôgjan, ‘to make suitable,’ is a factitive of the  root fag, in  fagrs, ‘suitable, fitted,’ whose nearer cognates are to be found under ;  to fadge (‘to suit, join’), may also be mentioned here. <section end="fügen" /> <section begin="fühlen" /> ,, ‘to feel, be sensible of, be sensitive to,’ a and  word incorporated in literary  since Luther's time (in  and   and ,<section end="fühlen" />
