π³πΉπ-
Gothic
Etymology
Doublet of ππ πΉπ- (twis-). Since the form lacks the expected effects of Grimm's law, it may be borrowed from or influenced by Latin dis-.[1] Otherwise the voiced onset could be explained as irregular lenition in an unstressed syllable. The details are unclear. Cognate to German zer-.
