i-Dötzchen

Etymology
, from the letter i, which was traditionally the first letter that school children learnt, and the noun. This word’s original meaning is "knob, bump", it being probably cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. The word i-Dötzje might therefore alternatively be derived from i-Dotz meaning "dot of the i", as has been proposed; but neither is this latter sense in general use, nor does the derivation suggest itself semantically.

Noun

 * 1)  first-year pupil; child who has just started school; abecedarian
