דאַכטן

Etymology
Probably from a conflation of and, past tenses of  (“to think”, whence ) and  respectively. From the latter verb early modern 🇨🇬 likewise formed a new infinitive. The sense “to mention” seems to be exclusively Yiddish, but compare German, which has developed the same sense. For the two Middle High German verbs compare 🇨🇬 (etymologies 1 and 2).

Verb

 * 1) to mention
 * 2)  to seem, to appear
