German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German sant, from Old High German sant, from Proto-West Germanic *sand, *samd, from Proto-Germanic *sandaz, *samdaz, from Proto-Indo-European *sámh₂dʰos.
The forms with -n- are due to early assimilation. The more original form with -m- is attested in Middle High German sambt, sampt, which survives in some Bavarian dialects and in Yiddish זאַמד (zamd). Further cognate with Dutch zand, Low German Sand, English sand, Danish sand.
Pronunciation
[edit]- IPA(key): /zant/ (prescriptive standard)
- IPA(key): /sɑnt/ (Austria)
Audio: (file) - Rhymes: -ant
- Homophone: sannt
Noun
[edit]Sand m (strong, genitive Sandes or Sands, plural Sande or (less common) Sände)
- sand (particles of rock)
Usage notes
[edit]- The plural mostly refers to different kinds of sand (Sortenplural), but it may also be used in literary style for great masses of sand (e.g. die Sande der Sahara).
