Usage notes

[edit]
  • Since the Middle High German period, this word has been used as either m or f.
  • The feminine singular is occasionally also given as die Tjoste. The masculine genitive singular can be either des Tjosts or des Tjostes.
  • Use of the word was discontinued after the end of the medieval period. The term used for the Renaissance-era joust (16th century) was Stechen or Rennen, and the Modern German term is the revived Middle High German word used in the context of the medieval joust.
