How close is German ''[[Zug]]'' to English ''[[tug]]''? --[[User:KYPark|KYPark]] ([[User talk:KYPark|talk]]) 14:12, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
<!-- {{:talk:Zug|tug}} -->
: The two words are distantly related. I see that {{term|tug}} is missing an Etymology, so I will add it. I will try and work in some information about {{term|Zug}} if I can. [[User:Leasnam|Leasnam]] ([[User talk:Leasnam|talk]]) 15:21, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

::: I can't find anything about its origin beyond that it comes from a base Germanic stem *tug- and is related to Old English {{term|teon|lang=ang}}, both from the IE root *dewk-. {{User:CodeCat/signature}} 16:33, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

::::Dutch {{term|teug|lang=nl}} is related, too. It's from Middle Dutch ''toghe'', ''tueghe'', from the same {{pProto|gem-pro-Germanic {{recons|tugi-|lang=gem-pro}}. --[[User:MaEr|MaEr]] ([[User talk:MaEr|talk]]) 17:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
::::: Yes and that also gave Old English {{term|tyge|lang=ang}}. {{User:CodeCat/signature}} 17:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
::::::This is a large family of words: others include {{term|team}}, {{term|tie}}, {{term|tow}}, and even {{term|educate}}! [[User:Leasnam|Leasnam]] ([[User talk:Leasnam|talk]]) 17:50, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
(contracted; show full)r leader to the formal of a prince. Similar appears the case with German {{term|lang=de|Kriegsherr}} translated into English {{term|lang=en|warlord}}, etc. One implication may be that German {{term|lang=de|Herzog}} is synonymous partly to Latin {{term|lang=la|dux}} "war leader" cf. ''[[w:dux bellorum]]'' in the archaic sense and partly to English {{term|lang=en|duke}} "prince" in the later. --[[User:KYPark|KYPark]] ([[User talk:KYPark|talk]]) 02:03, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
