Reconstruction talk:Proto-Indo-European/tréystis

Beyond the notes I've made about Old High German (see history): The preferred etymology for the Germanic word seems to be from Germanic *þrinhstja, belonging to German/Dutch dringen. This is given in Kluge, Pfeiffer, and Etymologisch Woordenboek van het Nederlands, which latter says: Verwantschap met Latijn trīstis ‘streng, treurig’ stuit op formele bezwaren. ([]).

Proto-Indo-European. An Italo-Germanic word, of unknown/greatly disputed origin. We probably best just mention the possible cognacy in the etymologies without a PIE form, like we do for other Italo-Germanic words, such as haedus. Catonif (talk) 12:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree. Either could just as well have borrowed it from the other. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 23:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. I moved the Germanic entry to Reconstruction:Proto-West Germanic/þrīstī. -- Sokkjō 08:15, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
