Some words

Hello,
for german "Abschied" there could also be the possibility by "twisstandan", so "Twisstand". "Andqithan" would be a little more in the sense of "entsagen".
Even we could etymological reconstruct "afskeidan" we shouldn't do it since it is apparently not used for that sense.
"Zu viel/too much" would be as far as I think: "du filu". "Resistance" would then be "Andstand".
I would say you can build nouns of verbs by just dropping the ending and then change the ablaut. In this case the vocal stays the same.

Also, German Abschied (parting or farewell). Pretty obvious it would come from something like the verb afskaidan, though the verb to bid farewell is andqithan, I believe.

I haven't looked at wiktionary yet, but I doubt it will have much (I often reconstruct from proto-germanic or go by analogy of another Germanic language). If I can think of any more words, I will add them.
