I don't understand the need for the -az ending. 10:55, 1 August 2012 (UTC)— This unsigned comment was added by Tibetologist (talk • contribs).
- The -az is the ending for the nominative singular case of certain Proto-Germanic nouns. It descended from Proto-Indo-European -os, and is also found in Greek (as -os) and in Latin (as -us). There isn't technically a 'need' for the ending, it's just the way it was. —CodeCat 11:14, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Transsylvanian Saxon
editWhy is Transsylvanian Saxon "Dåch" listed under Old Saxon/Middle Low German? Transsylvanian Saxon is a Central German dialect and I highly doubt that this word was loaned from Low German. --2A02:908:B40:B140:1CA5:87AC:6F73:4275 20:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
