# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Pfennig

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pfennig | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Pfennig, m., ‘a coin, one-tenth of a penny,’ from MidHG. pfęnnic, pfęnninc (gen. -ges), OHG. pfęnning, m., ‘denarius, a silver coin, a twelfth of a shilling.’ Its form and origin are difficult to determine. It may be derived from Pfanne, and thus its name may be due to its shape (perhaps ‘pan-shaped’ or ‘made in the pan’). A variant with nd, from the connection of the word with Pfand, is seen in OHG. pfęnting and AS. pęnding (variants of the more usual pęnning, pęnnig, whence E. penny). With regard to the diffusion of the word, comp. further OSax. pending, Du. penning, OIc. penningr; in Goth. a presumptive form *panniggs or *pandiggs is wanting. The suffix -ing frequently occurs in names of coins in the earlier periods; comp. Schilling, Silberling, OHG. cheisuring, ‘imperial gold coin,’ E. farthing, from AS. feórþing, ‘quadrans.’ From the Teut. cognates are derived OSlov. pěnęgŭ, pěnędžĭ, ‘coin, money.’

​ Pfeiler, m., from the equiv. MidHG. pfîlœre, OHG. pfîlâri, m., ‘pillar’; borrowed prior to the OHG. period from MidLat. pîlâre, pîlarius (Lat. pîla), ‘pillar,’ whence also Du. pijlaar. Comp. Ital. piliere, Fr. pilier, E. pillar (to which E. and Fr. pile, formed from Lat. pîla, is allied).

​ Pfeil, m., from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. pfîl, m., ‘arrow, dart’; corresponding to MidLG. pîl, Du. pijl, AS. pîl, E. pile, Scand. píla, ‘arrow.’ Borrowed at an early period from Lat. pîlum, n., ‘heavy javelin,’ with a change of gender and meaning. The OTeut. word for arrow, Goth. arhwazna, OIc. ǫr, AS. earh (etymologically the same as Lat. arcus, ‘bow’), disappeared on the introduction of the word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Pferch

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pferch | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Pferch, m., ‘fold, pen,’ from MidHG. pfęrrich, OHG. pfęrrih, pfarrih (hh), m., ‘fence, enclosure, espec. for sheep’; corresponding to AS. pearroc, m., ‘enclosure, park,’ Du. perk, ‘enclosed space.’ If the words with initial p in LG. and initial pf in HG. are of foreign origin, the term on which they are based must have been introduced, on account of the correspondence ​between the Continental Ger. and E. words, at a very early date (about the 4th cent.). “It appears even in the earliest MidLat.; parcus, parricus (Leg. Rip. and Leg. Angl.), parc (Leg. Bajuv.), in the latter instance as ‘granary,’” and also in early Rom.; comp. Fr. parc, ‘pen, park’ (see Park), Ital. parco. E. park is based partly on Rom. and partly on the AS. word. The source of all the cognates is incorrectly ascribed to Kelt.; comp. Gael. pâirc, W. parc, parwg.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Pferd

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pferd | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Pferd, n., ‘horse,’ from MidHG. pfërt (-des), n., ‘horse,’ espec. ‘riding-horse, lady’s horse’ (in contrast to Roß, ‘war-horse’), with the earlier variants pfërit for *pfërirît, OHG. (from the 10th cent.) pferfrī̆t, pfarifrī̆d; corresponding to LG. pęrid, Du. paard. The word seems to be Franc. and Sax. (in the UpG. dials. the old terms Roß and Gaul are still the prevalent terms; it was probably borrowed (about the 8th cent.?) from the early MidLat. paraverêdus, parifredus (f for v as in Käfig; the change of v into f in this case, however, is common to Teut.). Parverêdus, ‘horse,’ lit. ‘near horse,’ is derived from Gr. παρά and MidLat. verêdus, ‘horse’ (allied to Kelt. rêda, ‘waggon’). In the Kelt. group, W. gorwydd, ‘steed,’ was retained. The Rom. languages retain the MidLat. word (in the MidLat. collateral form palafrêdus, palafrênus) in the sense of ‘palfrey’; comp. Fr. palefroi (E. palfrey), Lat. palafreno.

​ Pfeife, f., from the equiv. MidHG. pfîfe, OHG. pfîfa, f., ‘pipe’; borrowed prior to the OHG. period from MidLat. pîpa (allied to Lat. pîpare, ‘to pip, chirp’); hence also Du. pijp, AS. pîpe, f., E. pipe, OIc. pípa; so too the Rom. cognates, Ital. piva, Fr. pipe. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Pfingsten

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pfingsten | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Pfingsten, plur., ‘Whitsuntide,’ from MidHG. pfingsten, which in form is really a dat. plur. (comp. Mitternacht), and was used at an early period for all cases; OHG. zi *pfingustin, ‘Whitsuntide,’ is by chance not recorded (Notker uses a pedantic semi-version, zi finfchustin). Formed from Lat. and Gr. πεντεκοστή (Ital. pentecoste, Fr. pentecôte), lit. ‘fiftieth day after Easter’; OSax. te pincoston, ‘at Whitsuntide,’ Du. pinksteren, as well as OSlov. pętikostij, Whitsuntide.’ While the term Ostern, applied to the Christian passover, was orig. a heathen word, which has been retained in E. and G., in this instance the ecclesiastical name obtained on the Continent, and that probably prior to the OHG. period, as the initial pf in MidHG. indicates; it was perhaps introduced through a Goth. medium contemporaneously with Kirche and Pfaffe. In E., Whitsunday (Scand. hoítadagr) was retained from a very early period, since it was the chief day for baptism, and the newly baptized were wont to wear white garments during that week; hence the G. term ‘der weiße Sonntag’. (Dominica in Albis). From quinquagesima, the frequent rendering in MidLat. of pentecoste, are derived MidDu. sinxen, OIr. cincgigais, ‘Whitsuntide.’

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sprenkel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sprenkel (1.), masculine, ‘springe, noose, snare,’ Modern High German only, from Low German; compare Dutch sprenkel, ‘loop in a cable.’ The latter, like Old High German sprinka, Middle High German sprinke, feminine, ‘bird-trap,’ is based on a primary form springjô, from which English springe is also derived. This primary form is probably cognate with Lithuanian sprìngti, ‘to choke,’ sprangùs, ‘choking,’ Lettic sprangāt, ‘to cord, confine.’
Sprenkel (2.), masculine, ‘speck, spot,’ from Middle High German (Middle German) spręnkel, sprinkel, masculine, ‘spot,’ for which in Middle High German a form sprëckel without a nasal is used (also *sprünkel in sprünkelëht, ‘spotted’), allied to Icelandic sprekla, Swedish spräkla, ‘little spot,’ Swiss šprigel, šprägel. These cognates may be connected with English to freak, freckle, and further with Greek περκνός, Sanscrit pṛçni, ‘spotted, variegated,’ if sprek (spreg) and prek (preg) be regarded as the Aryan roots (with regard to the interchange of sp and p, compare that of st and t under drosseln and Stier). In that case there would probably be no historic connection between sprenkeln and springen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spott

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Spott. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spott, masculine, ‘mockery, banter, scorn, laughing-stock,’ from Middle High German and Old High German spot (genitive spottes), masculine, ‘mockery, scorn, disgrace’; its early occurrence in Old High German shows that it is a genuine High German word. It is remarkable that the Low German dialects have a medial tt in the corresponding words; compare Dutch spot, Old Icelandic spott, neuter, ‘mockery.’ Modern High German and Middle High German spotten, ‘to mock, scoff at,’ Old High German spottôn, equivalent to Dutch spotten and OIc spotta. The cognates seem to imply a Gothic *spuþþôn (for Gothic þþ, equivalent to High German tt, see Schmiede), whose origin cannot be discovered. Latin spûtum is scarcely allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sprache

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sprache. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sprache, feminine, ‘speech, language, utterance,’ from the equivalent Middle High German sprâche, Old High German sprâhha. An abstract of sprechen (compare Anglo-Saxon sprœ̂č), ‘to speak, say, utter,’ which comes from the equivalent Middle High German sprëchen, Old High German sprëhhan, a strong verb peculiar to the West Teutonic languages; compare Old Saxon sprëkan, Dutch spreken, Anglo-Saxon sprëcan. The corresponding English to speak (and speech), from Anglo-Saxon spëcan (and spœ̂č), points to a Teutonic root spek, which appears also in Middle High German spëhten, ‘to chatter.’ The Teutonic root sprek has no cognates in the non-Teutonic languages; it is perhaps related to Sanscrit sphûrj, ‘to rustle.’ For an obsolete term, also meaning ‘to speak,’ see under Beichte; the current term in the Upper German dialects is reden.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sprehe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sprehe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sprehe, feminine, ‘starling,’ Modern High German only, properly a Low German word; compare Old Saxon sprâ, Dutch spreeuw, North Frisian sprïan, ‘starling.’ Origin obscure. From an Old Teutonic dialectic the equivalent Old French esprohon was borrowed.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sporn

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sporn. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sporn, masculine, Sporen, plural, ‘spur,’ from the equivalent Middle High German spor, spore, Old High German sporo, masculine; corresponding to Dutch spoor, Anglo-Saxon spora, spura, English spur, and the equivalent Old Icelandic spore. From the Teutonic cognates are derived the Romance terms, Italian sprone and French eperon, ‘spur.’ Teutonic sporo, masculine, ‘spur,’ is based on a strong verbal root sper, ‘to kick,’ which is preserved in Modern High German Spur, spüren, and English to spurn, Compare Old High German, Old Saxon, and Anglo-Saxon spurnan, ‘to tread,’ with which Sanscrit sphur, ‘to kick away,’ Greek σπαίρω, ‘to struggle’ (Latin sperno, ‘I despise,’ has a figurative sense), and Lithuanian spìrti, ‘to tread,’ are primitively allied. Compare also Sperling (literally ‘sprawler’?). Since the original sense of the Aryan root sper is ‘to kick,’ Speer cannot be connected with it.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sporteln

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sporteln. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Sprengel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Spor. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

# American Medical Biographies/Bauduy, Jerome Keating

​Bauduy, Jerome Keating (1842–1914)
Jerome Keating Bauduy, a neurologist and medico-legal expert of St. Louis, Mo., was born on the Island of Cuba, Aug. 10, 1842. He received his classical education at Georgetown College, D. C., and at the University of Louvain, Belgium. Returning to America, he proceeded to study medicine at the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, graduating in 1863.
For a time he was surgeon in the Federal army, being attached to the personal staff of the commander of the Army of the Cumberland, serving in Tennessee and Georgia.
At the close of the War, having married Miss Bankhead of Nashville, Tenn., he settled in St. Louis, Mo., and soon had a very large practice. At one time he was consulting physician to the St. Louis Hospital for the Insane. For twenty-five years he was physician and chief to St. Vincent's Asylum for the Insane, St. Louis, and professor of nervous and mental diseases and of medical jurisprudence in the Missouri Medical College and Washington University for nearly thirty years. He wrote a number of excellent books and articles on neurologic subjects, and, at the time of his death, was professor emeritus of psychologic medicine and diseases of the nervous system in Washington University.
He died at Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 10, 1914.
Dr. Bauduy will long be remembered as a diagnostician. In this department of his work he had no superior. As a teacher he was fluent and rapid—perhaps too rapid—and certainly far too technical for the undergraduates to whom he spoke.
# American Medical Biographies/Baxter, Jedediah Hyde

​Baxter, Jedediah Hyde (1837–1890)
Born in Stafford County, Orange, Vermont, Jedediah Hyde Baxter, surgeon-general of the United States Army, received his education at the University of Vermont and graduated in medicine at the same institution in 1860. When the Civil War broke out he at once offered his service to his country and was commissioned surgeon in the Twelfth Massachusetts Volunteers June 26, 1861. Appointed brigade surgeon of volunteers in 1862, he was shortly afterwards put in charge of Campbell General Hospital at Washington and in 1863 was made chief medical officer of the Provost Marshal General's Bureau. In this position he ​compiled the "Medical Statistics of the Provost Marshal General's Bureau." This work, which includes a valuable anthropometic treatise, contains the results of examinations of more than a million men enrolled in the Union Army during the great war and was published in two large volumes in 1875. In 1867 Baxter was appointed medical purveyor with the rank of lieutenant colonel and promoted to chief medical purveyor with the rank of colonel in 1874. August 16, 1890, he was appointed surgeon-general of the army but his career was suddenly cut short four months later. He died of an attack of uremia December 7 of the same year.
