Alternative formsEdit

  • sähs (westernmost Ripuarian)

EtymologyEdit

From Middle High German sehs, ses, from Old High German sehs, from Proto-West Germanic *sehs, from Proto-Germanic *sehs, from Proto-Indo-European *swéḱs. The now marginal variant sähs is the native form, since Old High German -hs- regularly develops into [s] (see Lahs, Ohs, wahße). Compare also fönnef (five) and sibbe (seven), which are non-native forms, too.
