nuets
Luxembourgish
Alternative forms
- nuechts (rare)
Etymology
From Old High German nahtes, adverbial genitive of naht (“night”), whence Luxembourgish Nuecht, Nuet. While regularly lost -ch- was restored in the noun (except in southern dialects), the adverb widely resisted this development due to the final -s. (Compare the same in Recht and riets.)
