Teig
German
editEtymology
editFrom Middle High German teic, from Old High German teig, teic (attested since the 9th century); from Proto-Germanic *daigaz, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to knead, to mold, to form”). Cognate with English dough, Dutch deeg, Old English dāg, Old Norse deig (whence Icelandic deig, Faroese deiggj, Norwegian deig, Swedish deg, Danish dej), Gothic 𐌳𐌰𐌹𐌲𐍃 (daigs). Also compare Finnish taikina and Estonian taigen which appear to be early borrowings from Proto-Germanic. Non-Germanic cognates include Ancient Greek
