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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Hexe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hexe, feminine, ‘witch, hag, sorceress,’ from Middle High German hęcse, feminine, Old High German hagzissa, hagazussa, hagzus (also hâzus, hâzissa), feminine, a gloss for furia, striga, eumenis, erinnys; compare Middle Dutch haghetisse, Modern Dutch heks, Anglo-Saxon hœgtesse, feminine, English (with the rejection of the apparent termination) hag. The word, which is doubtlessly a compound, has not yet been satisfactorily explained; Old High German hag, Anglo-Saxon hœg, ‘hedge, wood,’ as the first component, seems indubitable. The second part has not been elucidated; some suppose that the primary meaning of Hexe is ‘forest woman or demon’?. Compare Old High German holzmuoja, Middle High German holzmuoje, feminine, ‘forest woman, witch’ (also ‘wood-owl’).

​ Schlange, feminine, ‘serpent,’ from the equivalent Middle High German slange, masculine and feminine, Old High German slango, masculine; compare Old Icelandic slange, masculine, ‘serpent,’ Dutch slang; a graded form of schlingen, hence Schlinge is literally ‘that which coils.’ —

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schlacke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schlacke, feminine, ‘slag, dross,’ Modern High German only, from Low German slacke, ‘scales that fly off when metal is struck’ (English slag); allied to schlagen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schlaf

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schlaf. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schlaf (1.), masculine, Schläfe, feminine, ‘temple,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German slâf, masculine; Schläfe is properly the plural of Schlaf, referring to both the temples (compare Latin tempora); Dutch slaap, ‘temple.’ In Anglo-Saxon þunwęnge, allied to Old High German tinna, Middle High German tinne and Old High German thinna-bahho, masculine, ‘temple,’ Middle High German tünewęnge, ‘temple’ (compare dünn), Old High German dunwęngi, Old Icelandic þunnvange, ‘temple.’ Beneath these similarly sounding terms lies the older Teutonic term for ‘temple.’
Schlaf (2.), masculine, ‘sleep, slumber,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German slâf, masculine; a verbal abstract from schlafen, Middle High German slâfen, Old High German slâfan, strong verb, ‘to sleep.’ This form is peculiar to Teutonic in this sense, and is wanting only in Old Icelandic, which has preserved sofa (Teutonic root swef, Aryan swep), primitively allied to Latin somnus, Greek ὕπνος; Gothic slêps, ‘sleep,’ slêpan, ‘to sleep,’ Anglo-Saxon slœ́p, English sleep, Anglo-Saxon slœ̂pan, English to sleep, Dutch slaap, slapen, Old Saxon slâp, slâpan. Compare also the derivatives with r, Old High German slâfarag, Middle High German slâfrec, slœfric, ‘sleepy,’ Old High German slâfarôn (and slâfôn), Middle High German slâfern, ‘to be asleep, get sleepy.’ With the Teutonic root slêp, ‘to sleep,’ appearing in these cognates, are also connected Modern High German schlaff and its Teutonic correspondences; hence the primary meaning of schlafen is probably ‘to be relaxed.’ For further references see under schlaff.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schlag

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schlag. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schlag (1.), masculine, ‘sort, race, family, class’; see Geschlecht.
Schlag (2.), masculine, ‘stroke, blow,’ from the equivalent Middle High German slac (genitive slages), Old High German slag, masculine; a verbal abstract of the root slah, ‘to strike.’ Modern High German schlagen, ‘to strike, beat, pulsate,’ Middle High German slahen, Old High German slahan, ‘to strike’; the g of the Modern High German verb is due to the grammatical change of h to g. Compare Gothic slahan, Old Icelandic slá (also ‘to mow down’), Anglo-Saxon sleán (from sleahan), English to slay, Dutch slaan, Old Saxon slahan, ‘to strike.’ Teutonic root slah (slag), from pre-Teutonic slā̆k; akin to Greek λακίζω, Latin lacerare, ‘to tear to pieces or rags,’ for slak-?. A root similar in sound appears in Old Irish slechtaim, sligim, ‘I strike’ (root sleg). See Geschlecht and schlau.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schlappe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schlappe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schlappe (1.), feminine, ‘slipper,’ Modern High German only, from Low German slappe, winch is derived from Low German slapp, ‘loose.’
Schlappe (2.), feminine, ‘slap; discomfiture, defeat,’ Modern High German only, from Low German slappe; compare Middle English slappe, English slap; hence also in earlier Modern High German ‘slap in the face.’ From a High German *slapfe is derived Italian schiaffo, ‘slap in the face.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Schlacht

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Schlacht. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Schlacht, feminine, ‘battle, engagement,’ from Middle High German slahte, slaht, feminine, ‘killing, slaughter, battle,’ Old High German slahta, feminine, Old Saxon man-slahta, feminine, ‘death-blow, killing’; an abstract formed by the sem. suffix -tâ- (as in Schande), from the Teutonic root slah, ‘to slay.’ For Schlacht in the sense of ‘sort’ see Geschlecht. Schlacht, ‘dyke, embankment,’ is also a derivative of schlagen, ‘to make firm by beating,’ which sense Middle High German slahen may have even in the classical poets. —

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry noch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ noch (1.), adverb, from the equivalent Middle High German nock, Old High German noh, ‘still’; corresponding to Old Saxon noh, Dutch nog, Gothic nauk, ‘still’; a compound of nu, ‘now,’ and h, equivalent to Latin que, Greek τε, Sanscrit ca, ‘and also’; therefore the originally meaning is probably ‘also now,’ or ‘even, just now’; compare nun, and with regard to Gothic h-, equivalent to Latin que, see noch (2).
noch (2.), conjunction, ‘nor,’ from Middle High German noch, Old High German noh, ‘nor, not even, and not even’; Old High German noh—nok, Middle High German noch-, noch, ‘neither—nor,’ also even in Middle High German wëder—noch. Corresponding to Old Saxon noh, Dutch noch; in Gothic nih, ‘nor, not even,’ Gothic nih—nih, ‘neither—nor.’ Gothic nih is exactly equivalent to Latin ne-que (with regard to Gothic ni, Latin ne, see nicht). The particle -h, -uh, corresponding to Latin que, Greek τε, Sanscrit ca, ‘and,’ had a definite meaning in Gothic.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/nähen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry nähen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ nähen, verb, ‘to sew, stitch,’ from the equivalent Middle High German nœjen, Old High German nâjan; corresponding only to Dutch naaijen; Gothic *naian is wanting, neither is the word found in the other Teutonic languages. The verbal stem nê contained in nähen was at one time more widely diffused in the Teutonic group, as may be inferred from the common Teutonic Nadel (nêþlô-); compare further Naht. In the non-Teutonic languages a root nê, ‘to spin,’ is found, which is usually connected with the root of nähen; compare Latin neo, Greek νέω, ‘I spin,’ νῆμα, ‘thread,’ νῆτρον, ‘spindle’; to this is allied a root snâ in Old Irish snáthe, ‘thread,’ snâthat, ‘needle’ ​(compare Schnur). The cognates were probably borrowed in pre-historic times by one tribe from another (compare mahlen), so that nähen may not be a genuine Teutonic word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/nur

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry nur. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ nur, adverb, ‘only, simply,’ from Middle High German newœre, Old High German niwâri (Old Saxon ne wâri); literally ‘it would not be, if it were not.’ Middle High German and the Modern High German dialects have numerous intermediate forms between n-wœre and Modern High German nur, especially nœ̂r, neur, niur, nuor. For the negative ne see nicht.

​ nimmer, adverb, ‘never, never again,’ from Middle High German niemer, nimmer, nimer (from nie mêr), ‘never (of present and future actions)’; compare Modern High German nimmer in the sense of ‘no more, never again,’ for which nimmermehr is used in preference.

See nicht and nie.

​ nun, adverb, ‘now, at present,’ from Middle High German and Old High German nu (with the variant nû), ‘at the present time, now,’ rarely in Middle High German with the adverbial suffix n (nun, nuon).
