schëdden

Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Old High German *scudden, northern form of scutten, from Proto-West Germanic *skuddjan. Cognate with German schütten, Dutch schudden. The dd is notable as old geminates are regularly devoiced in Luxembourgish (cf. haten, wetten). If not a chance aberration, it may be due to levelling with an ungeminated byform (cf. Middle High German schüten alongside schütten).
