 :I have removed the mention of Niete, as Kluge's reference above disestablishes the link.  While the word semantically similar, NHG "t" does not trace back to Germanic "þ" by established sound laws.  Instead, Germanic "þ" produced NHG "d," as is the case with the secure cognate "Neid" (envy, grudge).    14:38, 8 April
