# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Locke

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Locke | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Locke, f., ‘lock, curl, tress,’ from the equiv. MidHG. loc (plur. locke), OHG. loc (plur. locchâ), m.; comp. AS. locc, E. lock, OIc. lokkr, Du. lok, ‘lock’ A common Teut. word for ‘lock’ (Goth. *lukks is by chance not recorded), and peculiar to the ​Teutons, who from the earliest times laid special stress on the mode of wearing the hair; the freeman was distinguished by his long streaming locks, while the bondman wore his hair short. The Southerners (see fahl) were specially struck with the golden curly hair of the Teutons when they first came into contact with them. It is true that curls were considered effeminate by the earlier Northmen, though in Germany they were fondly cherished. Comp. also Haar, Schopf, Hede, and other words for ‘hair’ peculiar to Teut. The primit. history of the word is obscure; Locke (as ‘that which is bent’) is most provably connected with an Aryan root, lug, ‘to draw, bend, curve’; comp. Gr. λυγ- in λυγόω, λυγίζω, ‘I bend, tie,’ also λύγος, ‘young, pliant twig’ (Lith. palugnas, adj., ‘pleasing’?). In Teut. the following are also probably allied to these — Goth. lûkan, ‘to draw’ (uslûkan, ‘to unsheathe a sword’), North. Eng. to look, ‘to weed,’ Bav. liechen, ‘to pluck’ (e.g. the flax out of the ground).

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Lolch | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Lolch, m., ‘darnel,’ from the equiv. MidHG. lulch, lullich, lulche, m.; the OHG. word is wanting, therefore it is difficult to determine when the term was borrowed from the equiv. Lat. lolîum. It is also conceivable that the G. word is independent of the Lat., especially as the former is lengthened by a guttural.

​ Lorbeer, m., ‘laurel,’ from MidHG. lôrber, OHG. lôrbęri, n. and f.; lit. ‘the berry of the lôrboum’ (OHG. and MidHG.); lôr- in lôr-boum, lôr-beri, is Lat. laurus, ‘laurel tree,’ which was probably known in Germany even before the 7th cent. (comp. Ital. lauro, Fr. laurier).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Loch

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Loch | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Loch, n., ‘hole, dungeon, haunt,’ from MidHG. loch, n., OHG. loh, gen. lohhes, n., ‘enclosed place, prison, lurking-place, cave, hole, opening.’ Comp. AS. loc, n., ‘enclosed place, lock’; loca, m., ‘enclosed place, prison’; from the former E. lock is derived. The various meanings all originate in ‘enclosed place’; comp. Goth. usluka-, ‘opening.’ The subst. is formed by gradation from an old Teut. vb. (obsolete in ModHG.), MidHG. lûchen, OHG. lûhhan, Goth. lûkan, AS. lûcan, ‘to lock,’ which may be compared (since the Pre-Teut. root is lū̆g) with Lith. lúżtu (lúżti), ‘to be broken,’ as well as with Sans. ruj, ‘to break.’

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Los | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Los, Loos, n., ‘lot, fate, chance,’ from MidHG. and OHG. lôȥ, m. and n., ‘lot, casting lots, drawing a lot, disposal by lottery, division of an inheritance’; comp. Goth. hlauts, ‘lot, inheritance,’ OIc. hlaut (hlutr), ‘lot, portion, sacrifice,’ AS. hlŷt and hlot, E. lot. To these are allied the str. vbs. — OIc. hljóta, AS. hleótan, OSax. hliotan, OHG. lioȥan, MidHG. lieȥen, ‘to obtain by lot, acquire.’ This verbal stem in heathen times was probably a sacrificial term (comp. MidHG. lieȥen, ‘to predict,’ OIc. hlaut, ‘sacrifice’; also Tacitus, Germania, 10). Old derivatives of this root ​hlut, which is peculiar to Teut., passed also into Rom.; comp. Ital. lotto, ‘lottery urn,’ Fr. lot, ‘share,’ OFr. lotir, ‘to cast lots, predict,’ Fr. loterie, ‘lottery.’

Since na- is the suffix, we may connect the root lau- with OSlov. lovŭ, ‘booty, chase,’ Lat. lu-crum, ‘gain,’ Gr. ἀπολαύω, ‘to partake of’; others make it cognate with Or. lúag, ‘reward.’

​ Losung, f., ‘war-cry, watchword,’ from the equiv. late MidHG. losunge, lôȥunge, the first appearance of which in the 15th cent. makes it impossible to determine the correct MidHG. form and its derivation (from Los? or from losen, ‘to hear’? see lauschen).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Lohe

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Lohe | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Lohe (1.), f., ‘blaze,’ from MidHG. lohe, m. (MidG. also f.), ‘flame, lurid ray,’ OHG. *loho (Goth. *laúha); the term used in OHG. was loug, MidHG. louc (AS. lêg, lîg). These, like OIc. loge, m., ‘flame,’ are derived from the Teut. root luh, ‘to give light,’ which still exists in HG. Licht, and which as Aryan luk appears in Lat. lucere, lux, OSlov. luča, ‘ray,’ and the Sans. ruc, ‘to shine,’ rocis, ‘light.’
Lohe (2.), f., ‘tanning bark,’ from the equiv. MidHG., MidLG., and OHG. lô (gen. lôwes), n.; comp. Du. looi. Distinct from Lohe (1), since it presumes a Goth. *lawa-; origin obscure.

OHG. and MidHG. amerinc, ‘yellow-hammer,’ MidLat. amarellus, which may have been formed from the G. word; E. yellow - hammer (Goldammer) is a corrupt form.

​ Amt, n., ‘office, council, jurisdiction,’ from MidHG. ammet, older ambet, OHG. ambaht, ambahti, n., ‘service, office, occupation, divine service, mass’; a word common to the Teut. group. Comp. Goth. andbahti, ‘office, service' (from andbahts, ‘servant,’ OHG. ambaht, ‘servant'), AS. anbiht, ambiht, n., ‘office, service,’ ambiht, m., ‘servant' (obsolete at the beginning of the MidE. period), Du. ambt, OSax. ambaht-skepi, ‘service,’ ambaht-man, ‘servant.’ The relation of the common Teut. word to the Gall.-Lat. ambactus (mentioned in Caesar's Bell. Gall.), ‘vassal,’ is much disputed. The West Teut. words may be best explained from Goth. and OTeut. ándbahta-, ​and the genuinely Teut. aspect of such a word cannot indeed be denied, even if the origin of -bahts cannot now be determined (and- is a verbal particle, ModHG. ant-). The emphatic testimony of Festus, however, is against the Teut. origin of the Gall.-Lat. ambactus; ambactus apud Ennium lingua gallica servus appellatur. This coincides with the fact that the word can be fully explained from Kelt.; ambactus contains the Kelt. prefix amb- (Lat. amb-) ‘about’; and ag is an oft-recurring verbal root (see Acker) in Kelt., meaning ‘to go’; hence ambactus, ‘messenger’ (lit. ‘one sent hither and thither’), from which comes MidLat. ambactia, ambactiata, ‘errand’ (Ital. ambasciata, Fr. ambassade, ‘embassy’). This explanation of the Lat.-Rom. cognates makes it possible that the OTeut. class was borrowed from Kelt. and transformed (Goth. andbahts for ambahts); in any case, it was borrowed in prehistoric times (comp. Reich).

In case Teut. ampra-, from *ambro-, represents the prop. Aryan *amró-, Sans. amlá, ‘sour' (also ‘wood-sorrel'), and Lat. amârus, ‘bitter,’ are primit. cognate with this word.

American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born v. Subversive Activities Control Board
Argued: Dec. 8, 9, 1964. --- Decided: April 26, 1965
Mr. Justice BLACK, dissenting.
While I have joined the dissents of Mr. Justice DOUGLAS from the Court's action in remanding these cases without deciding the important constitutional questions involved, I have additional reasons for objecting to the remands. In Communist Party of U.S. v. Subversive Activities Control Board, 367 U.S. 1, 137, 81 S.Ct. 1357, 1431, 6 L.Ed.2d 625 (dissenting opinion), I stated at some length my reasons for believing that the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950, as amended, 64 Stat. 987, 50 U.S.C. §§ 781 826 (1958 ed.), on which the Government's case here rests, violates a number of provisions of our Constitution and Bill of Rights in many respects. See also Aptheker v. Secretary of State, 378 U.S. 500, 517, 84 S.Ct. 1659, 1669, 12 L.Ed.2d 992 (concurring opinion). I think that among other things the Act is a bill of attainder; that it imposes cruel, unusual and savage punishments for thought, speech, writing, petition and assembly; and that it stigmatizes people for their beliefs, associations and views about politics, law, and government. The Act has borrowed the worst features of old laws intended to put shackles on the minds and bodies of men, to make them confess to crime, to make them miserable while in this country, and to make it a crime even to attempt to get out of it. It is difficult to find laws more thought-stifling than this one even in countries considered the most benighted. Previous efforts to have this Court pass on the constitutionality of the various provisions of this freedom-crushing law have met with frustration on one excuse or another. I protest against following this course again. My vote is to hear the case now and hold the law to be what I think it is-a wholesale denial of what I believe to be the constitutional heritage of every freedom-loving American.
