Proto-Germanic[edit]

Not *þeudō, but *þeuðō. PIE *tewtéh₂ → *teutā → PGmc *þeuþō → *þeuðō, as intervocalic þ becomes ð.--Manfariel (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Stress was originally on the second syllable. According to Verner's Law it should be d Leasnam (talk) 21:44, 22 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
sorry--Manfariel (talk) 20:00, 5 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
You were both right in a sense: what is conventionally written as <d> in Proto-Germanic reconstructions, between vowels was actually uttered as [ð] (both as outcome of PIE *dh- [see Grimm's Law] and *t [as in this case, see Verner's Law]). 79.33.239.146 15:44, 10 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

diet[edit]

The links for diet do direct to diet, but in there, there are no sections for Dutch and MHG.--Manfariel (talk) 14:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

That simply means no one has created entries for those languages yet. If you'd like to, you're welcome to do so :) Leasnam (talk) 19:42, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Scots. Did this word (which seems to be rare and obsolete) ever actually have the sense "species"/"kind"? The Dictionary of the Scots Language only lists the senses "a country" and "a people or community". The "species" sense isn't in the OED either. Zacwill (talk)

While we're at it, it'd be good to see some verification for the "region or province" sense too. Zacwill (talk) 22:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
