top | item 45752335 (no title) predictand | 4 months ago Thanks for the correction! That's good to know. I also noticed it isn't dreizig but dreissig, whereas it is vierzig (and not vierssig). I have to double-check whether it is my source that's wrong or just another exception to memorize. discuss order hn newest 1718627440|4 months ago > dreizig but dreissigActually it's 'dreißig'. It can't be 'dreissig', since a double consonant like 'ss' indicates a short vowel, which a diphthong like 'ei' can never be. chmod775|4 months ago A hundred years ago you might've still commonly seen it spelled "dreiszig". load replies (1)
