From Post-Gothic ''[[wikt:𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐍃#Gothic|*dáuþ]][[wikt:-𐌹𐌸𐌰#Gothic|ida]]''. This supplanted Gothic ''[[wikt:𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐌿𐍃#Gothic|dáuþus]]'' due to syncope of unstressed short vowels | From Post-Gothic ''[[wikt:𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐍃#Gothic|*dáuþ]][[wikt:-𐌹𐌸𐌰#Gothic|ida]]''. This supplanted Gothic ''[[wikt:𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐌿𐍃#Gothic|dáuþus]]'' due to syncope of unstressed short vowels rendering Gothic ''[[wikt:𐌳𐌰𐌿𐌸𐍃#Gothic|dáuþs]]'' ("dead") homophonous with it. A similar homophony also arose in Dutch ''[[wikt:dood#Dutch|dood]]'', but no compensatory replacement word was created there. | ||
