"datt" meaning in Luxembourgish

See datt in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Conjunction

IPA: /dat/, [dɑt] Forms: daß [alternative], dass [alternative]
Rhymes: -ɑt Etymology: From Middle High German dat, from Old High German that, north-western variant of thaz, from Proto-Germanic *þat. Cognate with Central Franconian datt, German dass, Dutch dat, English that. The split between Luxembourgish dat (pronoun) and datt (conjunction) is due to the fact that the latter is virtually never stressed, which prevented the otherwise regular lengthening (note that dat may also be pronounced with a short vowel in unstressed position). The byform dass does not directly continue Old High German thaz, but is actually from datt + s (2nd person singular ending), thus from a contraction datt s de → dass de (“that you”). Compare wann s de (“if you”), etc., and compare for the contraction has (“you had”) from underlying *haats. The subsequent generalisation of dass, however, was surely reinforced by the form dass in Standard German and in dialects to the south-east of Luxembourg.
