saw this word and went Now Hold On I've seen you before. and lo a nd behold it actually means jewel; the word/name that i already knew is qazaq gauhar, it means diamond! same middle persian origin.

then, when i saw the following word, i thought 'surely it must have an indo european etymology, earth literally means Erde in german' but no?? it's semitic? wow

translation: • Otfrid['s work] also contains the 1. Person Genitive Dual: unker (or uncher, alternatively unkar or unchar)

i'm reeling. I'M REELING. WHAT DO YOU MEAN there is an actual possibility that my hometown dialect uses a form of the remnant of a dual form of old high german. WHAT DO YOU MEAAAAN

EDIT: I WAS FUCKING RIGHT.

translation:

Origin: Comes from middle high german enk and is a Bavarian shibboleth. In contrast to other Germanic languages, Bavarian did not give up the Dualis in favor of the Pluralis, and instead, like Icelandic, had the Dualis become the standard form for the Plural.

and then of course Fr. adieu:

wonder why "art" is called "umění" in Czech - sounds familiar but huh
