dichteg

== Luxembourgish == === Alternative forms === diichteg (dialectal) === Etymology === From Middle High German düchtich, West Central German form of tüchtec, from Old High German *duhtig, *tuhtig, from Proto-West Germanic *duhtīg. Cognate with German tüchtig, Dutch duchtig, English doughty. By surface analysis, Duucht +‎ -eg. The short vowel has parallels in richteg, wichteg, but these are suspect of being German borrowings. If so, German influence will also be the reason for the re-shortened vowel in dichteg. Otherwise there might be a regular development before -eg at play. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈdiɕtəɕ] === Adjective === dichteg (masculine dichtegen, neuter dichtegt, comparative méi dichteg, superlative am dichtegsten) competent, proficient, capable significant, important, well-known ==== Declension ====
