Noun gmw-ecg noun f gmw-ecg High Prussian beet German Etymology From de gmh bette, gmh bete, gmh bet, from de goh betti, goh beti bed, flower-bed, from de gmw-pro *badi, from de gem-pro *badją. de Bett bed for sleeping. The West Germanic noun had simple -d- in the nominative/accusative and geminated -dd- in the oblique cases. This alternation was generally levelled towards the geminate, but variants with a simple consonant survived through Old and Middle High German. The form de Beet, which is of Central German origin, likely continues such dialectal forms,22 though some consider it a late and arbitrary alteration. The semantic distinction from de Bett is in any case artificial and dates from the 17th century.
