Schatte

== Central Franconian == === Alternative forms === Schät, Scheat (chiefly western Moselle Franconian variant) === Etymology === The expected outcome of Middle High German schade would be *šāt or *šāde. Schatte can only be derived from the variant schatwe, from earlier schatewe, *schadewe. Alternatively, it could be borrowed from German Schatten. This seems less likely, but might have occurred in order to avoid homophony with Schade (“damage”). In any case, eventually from Old High German scato, *scado. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃatə/ === Noun === Schatte m (no plural) (many dialects) shadow; shade == Hunsrik == === Etymology === From Middle High German schate, schatwe, schatewe, schetewe, from Old High German scato, from Proto-West Germanic *skadu, from Proto-Germanic *skaduz (“shadow”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱeh₃- (“darkness, shadow”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃatə/ === Noun === Schatte m (plural Schatte) shade, shadow ==== Derived terms ==== schattich === Further reading === Boll, Piter Kehoma (2021), “Schatte”, in Dicionário Hunsriqueano Riograndense–Português, 3rd edition (overall work in Portuguese), Ivoti: Riograndenser Hunsrickisch == Limburgish == === Etymology === From Middle Dutch schāde, from Old Dutch scado, from Proto-West Germanic *skadu, from Proto-Germanic *skaduz (“shadow”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱeh₃- (“darkness, shadow”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃa.tə/ Rhymes: -atə === Noun === Schatte m (uncountable) (Eupen) shade, shadow Synonyms: Schäëm, Schäën
