 * Here's a little overview:
 * Pfeifer: Etymologisches Wörterbuch (1989): „Die Herkunft [...] ist nicht geklärt“. (The origin [...] is unsettled.)
 * Kluge: Etymologisches Wörterbuch (2002): „Herkunft unklar.“ (Origin obscure.)
 * Van Veen/van der Sijs: Van Dale Etymologisch Woordenboek (1997): „Etymologie onzeker.“ (Etymology uncertain.)
 * Philippa: Etymologisch Woordenboek (2009): „Herkomst onbekend.“ (Origin unknown.)
 * Duden Online: „Herkunft ungeklärt.“ (Etymology unsettled.)
 * And Philippa explicitly says: „De Romaanse woorden zijn wrsch. aan het Oudhoogduits ontleend.“ (The Romance words were probably borrowed from Old High German.) Kolmiel (talk) 23:25, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I figured that as well, it looks a bit strange. (Particularly as it's described as being borrowed from 'Italian', instead of Vulgar Latin. Wakuran (talk) 11:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
