Etymology
Originally meant young girl, young prostitute in the dialect of Berlin. Further origin unsettled. Possibly from de gml not, gml nōte nut in the sense of vulva, vagina (compare de Nuss, which has this sense in hunter's jargon); or from de Nut furrow, also in the aforementioned sense, but less probably, since this word is not Low German. An alternative hypothesis considers it a variation of de lütt Lütte little one from gml lüttel small, possibly through a merger with de he נִדָּה niddā menstruating woman, but the vocalism -u- does not really agree with this. Finally, since the connection with prostitution is apparently very old, a relation with gml nütte useful, profitable might be considered.
