# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Mist

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mist | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mist, m., ‘excrement, dung,’ from MidHG. and OHG. mist, m., ‘mud, manure, dunghill’; it represents *mihst, like OHG. forskôn, ‘to demand,’ for *forhskôn; see mischen. Goth. maíhstus, m., ‘excrement,’ AS. meoz (for *meoxt?), ‘excrement,’ MidE. mix, obsolete in E.; the derivative AS., MidE., and E. mixen, ‘dunghill,’ has been preserved, and appears in OHG. as mistunnea, mistina, f., and also in Franc. as misten, ‘dunghill.’ Since stu in Goth. maihstus is a suffix, HG. Mist is connected with Lith. měz-ti, ‘to dung,’ mėżlaì, ‘excrement,’ or with the Aryan root mī̆gh, ‘to make water,’ which has been retained in LG. as mîgen; comp. AS. mîgan, OIc. míga, ‘to make water.’ This latter verbal stem is found in the non-Teut. languages; comp. the Sans. root mih, Lat. mingere, Gr. ὀμιχεῖν, with the same sense; Lat. mêjo and Lith. mężu, ‘mingo,’ also belong to the same Aryan root mī̆gh. Since ὀμίχλη, ὁμίχλη, OSlov. mĭgla, Lith. miglà, ‘mist,’ are also allied to Gr. ὀμιχεῖν, ‘to make water,’ the following have also been connected with Mist, AS. and E. mist, LG. and Du. mist, ‘mist,’ Ic. mistr, ‘misty air’; Sans. méghá, ‘cloud,’ míh, ‘rain, mist,’ belong also to the root mih, which in OInd. means both ‘to make water’ and ‘raining, gushing forth.’
​ Mist, read AS. mîst (equiv. to LG. mîst).

Du. modder, ‘slime,’ E. mother, ‘slimy substance’ (espec. in vinegar), Du. moer, ‘yeast, lees.’ The entire class has become current only in the modern languages; comp. the corresponding MidG. mot, ‘moor, morass, marsh,’ MidE. mudde, E. mud. The early history of the cognates is obscure; Gr. μυδών, ‘fungous flesh,’ on account of its permutation does not belong to the cognates.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Tau

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tau | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tau (1.), n. (unknown to Swab. and Bav.), ‘rope, cable,’ ModHG. only; properly a LG. word, based on OIc. taug, ‘cord, rope’ (whence E. tow, Du. touw). The latter is connected with the Teut. root tuh (tang), in ModHG. ziehen. From the LG. word Fr. touer, ‘to tow a ship,’ is derived. For the words borrowed by HG. from LG. see Strand, Boot, &c.
Tau (2.), m., ‘dew,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. tou (gen. touwes), n. (MidG. also, m.); corresponding to the equiv. OSax. dau, Du. dauw, AS. deáw, E. dew, OIc. dǫgg (Goth. *daggwa is wanting), whence E. (dial.) dag. Teut. dauwo-, from pre-Teut. dháwo-, is generally connected with the Sans. root dhā̆v, ‘to run, flow, stream.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Taube

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Taube | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Taube, f., ‘dove, pigeon,’ from the equiv. MidHG. tûbe, OHG. tûba, f.; corresponding to the equiv. Goth. dûbô, AS. dûfe, E. dove, Du. duif. This common Teut. term (for which Goth. ahaks, AS. culufre, ‘dove,’ are also found) has been connected with a Teut. root dū̆b, ‘to dive,’ which appears in AS. dŷfan, E. to dive, Taube being regarded as orig. ‘water-dove.’ It is more probably related to OIr. dub, ‘black,’ duibe, ‘blackness’; comp. Gr. πέλεια, ‘wild pigeon,’ from πελοός, ‘dark blue.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Taufe

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Taufe | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Taufe, f., ‘baptism, christening,’ from the equiv. MidHG. toufe, OHG. toufa (toufî), f.; allied to taufen, vb., ‘to baptize, christen,’ MidHG. töufen, toufen, OHG. toufen (from *toufjan). The primary meaning of the vb. is preserved by MidHG. toufen, ‘to dip under,’ which is properly a causative of tief. Goth. daupjan, OLG. dôpian, Du. doopen, exhibit the Christian meaning, which AS. represented by fulwian (fulwiht, ‘baptism’); comp. OIc. kristna, ‘to baptize.’ In its relation to the history of civilisation taufen is as difficult to determine as Heide (which see). It cannot be positively affirmed whether the MidEurop. term daupjan “has been restricted in meaning solely because the Goths, who were first to receive Christianity, rendered the Gr. word βαπτίζειν by the corresponding daupjan; this word, as the designation of the first sacrament, was then adopted from them (with Heide, Kirche, Pfaffe, and Teufel) by the Western Teutons, and was so firmly rooted among the latter that the AS. missionaries could no longer think of supplanting it by their corresponding verb fulwian.” Perhaps, however, the OTeut. daupjan had even in the heathen acquired a ritual sense which fitted it to become the representative of the Christian-Romance baptizare (Ir. baitism).

​ Tappe, f. (in Swab. and Alem. Dopen, m.), ‘claw, paw,’ from the equiv. MidHG. *tā̆ppe (only tâpe is recorded), f.; origin and early history obscure. To this is allied ModHG. täppisch, adj., ‘awkward, clumsy,’ since MidHG. tappe (tâpe) occurs also as ‘uncouth, loutish person’; hence also ModHG. tappen, vb., ‘to flounder along, grope one's way,’ lit. ‘to behave awkwardly.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/ahnden

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry ahnden. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ ahnden, verb, ‘to punish,’ from Middle High German anden, Old High German antôn, anadôn, ‘to punish, censure,’ allied to Old High German anto, anado, m , ‘insult, embittered feeling, anger.’ It corresponds to Old Saxon ando, ‘exasperation, anger,’ Anglo-Saxon anda, oneþa, ‘zeal, vexation, hatred,’ whence andian, ‘to be angry’; moreover, Gothic preserves in uz-anan, ‘to die,’ the root an, ‘to breathe, respire, snort,’ which appears in these words. Compare Old Icelandic ande, masculine, ‘breath, spirit,’ ǫnd, feminine, ‘breath, soul'; and also Anglo-Saxon êðian, ‘to breathe' (implying Gothic *anþjôn), Anglo-Saxon oruþ, ‘breath' (Gothic *uzanþ), orþian, ‘to breathe,’ Old Icelandic ørendi, ‘breathlessness.’ The root an, preserved in all the cognates, is Old Aryan, and means ‘to breathe’; compare Latin animus, anima, Greek ἄνεμος, connected with the Aryan root an, ‘to breathe, respire.' —
ahnden, verb, ‘to forebode’; see ahnen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/ahnen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry ahnen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
London: George Bell & Sons, page 5
​ ahnen, verb, ‘to forebode, suspect,’ from Middle High German anen, ‘to foresee, forebode,’ foreign to the older period and to the rest of the Teutonic dialects; it has been connected with the Old Aryan root an, ‘to breathe, respire,’ so that it may be a primitively cognate of ahnden, under the influence of which it also appears in Modern High German as ahnden. It is better, however, to regard it as a derivative of the preposition an; allied, literally ‘to befall, seize, attack' (properly said of ghosts or visions).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/all

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry all. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ all, adjective, ‘all, whole,’ from Middle High German and Old High German al (inflected genitive alles), adjective, ‘entire, each, every one’; a word common to the Teutonic group; it corresponds to Gothic alls, Old Icelandic allr, Anglo-Saxon eall, English all, Dutch al, Old Saxon ol, with the same meanings. There is also an Old Teutonic form ala- in compounds and derivatives; compare Old High German and Old Saxon alung, Middle High German alenc, ‘entire, complete,’ Gothic alamans, plural, ‘everybody,’ Old High German ala-wâr, ‘quite true’ (see albern), alaniwwi, ‘quite new.’ Probably Gothic alla- as a participial form is based upon an older al-na- (compare voll, Wolle), since ala- shows that the root was al or rather ol. Whether Gothic alan, ‘to grow up’ (see alt), is a cognate, remains uncertain; in any case, the Keltic words, Old Irish uile, ule, ‘entire, each, all’ (base olio-), and Welsh oil ‘entire,’ are rightly compared with it, while Greek ὅλος, on account of Sanscrit sárvas (from Aryan solvo-s), ‘entire, each,’ must be kept apart. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/albern

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry albern. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ albern, adjective, ‘silly, foolish,’ earlier Modern High German alber, from Middle High German álwœre, ‘simple, silly,’ Old High German álawâri, ‘kind, friendly, well-disposed’ (with an interesting change of meaning from Old High German to Middle High German). The Old High German adjective signifies also ‘truly, quite true’; so Gothic wêrs ‘true,’ also means ‘friendly’ by inference from un-wêrjan, ‘to be unwilling, displeased’ (compare too Old High German mitiwâriy, ‘friendly’). See wahr and all. Moreover, albern has not the present meanings in the Upper German dialects; Luther introduced it from Middle German into the written language.

​ Weizen, m., ‘wheat,’ from MidHG. weitze, OHG. weizzi, m. The dial. (unknown only in Bav.?) variant Weißen (Swiss, UpSwab., Wetterau, UpHess., Hennegau, and Thuringian) is based on MidHG. weiȥe, OHG. weiȥi (tz and sz interchanged in this word on account of the older inflectional interchange of tj and ti; comp. reizen and heizen); hence Weißbrod as well as Weizen?. Corresponding to the equiv. Goth. hwaiteis (dat. hwaitja), OIc. hveite, AS. hwœ̂te, E. wheat, Du. weit, OSax. hwêti. Lith. kvëtẏs, ‘grains of wheat,’ is borrowed from Teut.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/retten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry retten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ retten, verb, ‘to rescue, save,’ from Middle High German and Old High German rętten, ‘to snatch from, rescue’; compare Dutch redden, Old Frisian hredda, Anglo-Saxon hręddan, ‘to snatch from, set free,’ English to rid; Gothic *hradjan may be assumed. The Teutonic root hrad, from pre-Teutonic krath, corresponds to the Sanscrit root çrath, ‘to let go’ (present çratháyâmi).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/reuten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry reuten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ reuten, verb, ‘to root out, grub up, from Middle High German riuten, ‘to root out, make fertile’; to this is allied Old High German riuti, Middle High German riute, neuter, ‘land made fertile by uprooting,’ Old Icelandic ryðja, ‘to make fertile.’ Whether Old High German riostar, riostra, Middle High German riester, ‘plough, plough-handle,’ dialectic Riester, is connected with this word is uncertain. See roden.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/rein

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry rein. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ rein, adjective ‘pure, clean, downright,’ from the equivalent Middle High German reine, Old High German reini, older hreini, adjective; corresponding to Gothic hrains, Old Icelandic hreinn, Old Saxon hrêni, North Frisian rian, ‘pure’; in Dutch and English, correspondences are wanting. The Modern High German sense (for which in Bavarian and Swiss sauber is mostly used) is not found in the dialects; e.g., in Rhenish-Franconian and Swiss it signifies only ‘fine ground, sifted’ (of flour, sand, &c.), and belongs therefore to the Teutonic root hrī̆, pre-Teutonic krī̆, krei, ‘to winnow, sift,’ whence Old High German rîtara (see Reiter), Latin cri-brum, Greek κρί-νειν (for the adjective suffix -ni- see klein and schön). Hence ‘sifted’ may be assumed as the original sense of rein; compare Old Low German hrêncurni, ‘wheat.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/reiten

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry reiten. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ reiten, verb, ‘to ride,’ from Middle High German rîten, Old High German rîtan, ‘to move on, set out, drive, ride’; corresponding to Dutch rijden, ‘to ride, drive, skate,’ Anglo-Saxon rîdan, English to ride, Old Icelandic ríða, ‘to ride, travel; swing, hover.’ These words are based on the common Teutonic rîdan, with the general sense of continued motion. This, as well as the fact that in Teutonic there is no verb used exclusively for ‘to ride,’ makes it probable that the art of riding is comparatively recent. Besides, in the allied languages no single term expresses this idea. It is also known that the art among the Greeks appears after the time of Homer, and that it was still unknown to the Indians of the Rig-Veda. It is true that the Teutons are known to us as horsemen from their earliest appearance in history, but the ​evolution of the word reiten (compare Latin equo vehi) proves that the art is of recent origin. The Teutonic verbal stem rī̆d, for pre-Teutonic rī̆dh, reidh, corresponds to Old Irish ríad, ‘driving, riding’ (ríadaim, ‘I drive’), Old Gallic rêda, ‘waggon’ (compare Greek ἔ-ριθος, ‘messenger, servant’?). The general meaning is seen also in Anglo-Saxon râd, feminine, ‘journey, expedition,’ English road, as well as in the cognates under bereit.
