"maha. major" is also from "mor", as in "major domo", "burgerMEIster

"landowner" which seems to combine both roots.</div> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Possibly, Saxons also had "maere" temples to "brahm" the gods.</div><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" class="sg">

<br><br>Yes, the German shift *<span style="font-style: italic;">d</span> > <span style="font-style: italic;">t</span> is completely regular (as is *<span style="font-style: italic;">t</span> > <span style="font-style: italic;">
ts ~ s</span>). What I meant to say was that it (this regular shift) is specific to the German group (which some want to call "Southern Germanic"), that therefore this group is unusual in this regard among the Germanic languages. This is why I advised not to use German
<span class="sg"> (including Alemannic and Yiddish)</span> words with German-specific shifts as representing all Germanic languages.<br><br>I hope this is clearer now.<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br><br></div></span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
