geld geldt
German
Etymology
de :inh gmh:gëlt<ety:inh<goh:gëlt<ety:inh<gmw-pro:*geld>>>>
From de gmh gëlt, from de goh gëlt, goh këlt, from de gmw-pro *geld, from de gem-pro *geldą reward, gift, money, from de ine-pro *gʰeldʰ- to pay.
The modern consonantism -d instead of expected -t is Central and Low German (compare gml gelt, -des, from osx geld); but also Upper German in some dialects through revoicing after -l-. Compare nl geld, en geld, en yield, sv gäld.
