Talk:etwas

Request to clear up and extend etymology section
DWDS says that the edde(s) element in "etwas" is probably the same as the et- in "etlich". The Wiktionary entry currently compares this with Icelandic "eitthvað", which is a similar formation, but the eitt- element is not the same as the edde- in OHG. DWDS compares this morpheme to odo and 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿, whose etymologies are also kind of unclear, is there another source for this connection? Someone should research and make entries for eddeshwaz, the edde- or eddes- element, as well as their Middle High German equivalents, and the Etymology section of this entry should be extended.
