Hunsrik: taach

Akademie-Verlag
Berlin
Wolfgang Pfeifer (etymologist)

Inherited from Middle High German tac, tag, from Old High German tag, tac (attested since the 8th century); from Proto-West Germanic *dag, from Proto-Germanic *dagaz, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- (“to burn, to be illuminated”).
Germanic cognates include Old Saxon dag (whence German Low German Dag), Old Dutch dag (whence Dutch dag, Afrikaans dag), Old English dæġ (whence Modern English day), West Frisian dei, Old Norse dagr (whence Icelandic dagur, Faroese dagur, Norwegian Bokmål dag, Norwegian Nynorsk dag, Swedish dag, Danish dag), Yiddish טאָג (tog) and Gothic 𐌳𐌰𐌲𐍃 (dags).
Non-Germanic cognates include Albanian djeg (“to burn”), Latin foveō (“to warm, nurture”), favilla (“cinders, ashes”), Ancient Greek τέφρα (téphra), Lithuanian dãgas (“hot season”), Russian жечь (žečʹ, “to burn”), Sanskrit दहति (dahati, “to burn”).
Although they are similar in appearance and meaning, German Tag and Proto-Germanic *dagaz are not related to Latin diēs as older folk etymology suggested; instead, the Latin word is derived from Proto-Indo-European *dyew- (“to shine”). See the Latvian diena (“day”) and Sanskrit दिन (diná, “day”) for more.
In earlier legal documents since Middle High German, Tag was frequently used in the meaning of “a fixed day for meeting, debate, or appointment,” which was associated with words like Reichstag, Landtag, later Ratstag, and tagen (“to hold a meeting”), etc.

From Middle High German knote, knode, from Old High German knoto, knodo.
The two forms are probably variants based on Grammatischer Wechsel. The form with -t- (from Proto-Germanic *-d-) was predominant in East Central German, that with -d- (from Proto-Germanic *-þ-) in Upper German. Incidentally, this situation explains the lengthened vowel in the standardized form (lengthening being blocked before -t- in Upper German, but not in Central German). Neither German form can be derived directly from Proto-Germanic *knuttô, whence Middle High German knotze and English knot, though a relation is very likely.
The senses “journeyman”, “person (of some quality)” are probably due, at least in part, to conflation with Middle Low German genôte (“mate, companion”), cognate of German Genosse. Alongside, there is a common tendency of referring to people, especially children, with words for thick, plump, or inflated objects (compare e.g. Balg).
