sinds

Etymology
From, with a suffix -s. The form is a nasal variant of Germanic, also found in Old High German. According to some, sint is instead shortened from, which itself is related with Old English and Old Norse. This is, however, improbable because sint is already found in the oldest stages of both Dutch and German. Modern Dutch sinds is therefore, in all likelihood, just an indirect cognate of the similar sounding English. The onset s- (instead of expected z-) is due to a prepositioned, thus *te zinds → *tzinds → sinds. Immediately cognate with Luxembourgish. Also cognate with 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬.
