Petschaft

German

edit
  A user suggests that this German entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “Etymology mentions all three genders; entry only gives one. That doesn't add up. Did the MHG term(s) have multiple or different genders and the NHG only one? Or are the masc. or fem. gender attested in NHG as well, but obsolete?

BTW: is it really "influence of Schaft" (m) or "influence of -schaft" (f)?”.

Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
