letzte

Etymology
From, a contraction of , from (also ), itself superlative of  (cognate to 🇨🇬). The modern German form with -tz- is of northern origin; two separate origins have probably met in it: Firstly, there is a general tendency in some Central German dialects of inserting -t- before comparative and superlative endings. (Compare for this, for example, Ripuarian →, ). Secondly,, contracted superlative of , had a regular or regularized variant , which is very rare in writing, but may have been more common in spoken dialects. (Compare modern 🇨🇬.) Related forms are 🇨🇬 and, 🇨🇬 and , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
