"Ziege" meaning in German

See Ziege in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈt͡siːɡə/ Audio: De-Ziege.OGG , De-Ziege2.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German zige, from Old High German ziga, from Proto-West Germanic *tigā. Ziege was originally found in Franconian dialects alongside otherwise exclusive Geiß. In Middle High German times, it established itself in the colonial dialects (East Central German) and also conquered vast areas of Low German, where the borrowing Middle Low German sēge was predominant since at least the 15th century (due to a virtual lack of domestic goat breeding). During the same time, curiously, Ziege was widely lost in West Central German and Upper Franconian, its original provenance. Its eventual victory in the standard language was reinforced by its use in Luther’s Bible.
