Niemish
Pronunciation
- IPA: /dɔst/
Etymology
From Post-Gothic *dáuþida. This supplanted Gothic dáuþus due to syncope of unstressed short vowels and extended Thurneysen's law rendering Gothic dáuþs ("dead") homophonous with it. A similar homophony also arose in Dutch dood, but no compensatory replacement word was created there.
Noun
⁰ dòst n.f. zero-stem
- death
