Abstract

Beginning with introductory remarks on history and conception of the dictionary, the article focusses on so-called ‘fillers’ and especially deals with nounforming compositional suffixes as well as the word formation and meaning of the problematic adjective rosenohti. Following this, the paper presents the results of volume VI of the Etymological Dictionary of Old High German (articles mâda ‘swath’ to pûzza ‘drink, spice potion’), including new or more precise etymologies for numerous dialect words, but also for standard New High German and Old High German words which have not been continued into the contemporary language. Finally, the advantages of retro-digitizing the dictionary are discussed.
