\"Illustration<\/p>\n

Today I discovered that the Russian word \u0433\u0430\u043b\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043a<\/strong> [\u02c8\u0261alst\u028ak] (tie, necktie, neckerchief) was borrowed from the German Halstuch<\/em> (tie, scarf, cravat, necktie, neckwear, kerchief, bandana, neckerchief neckcloth), or from the Dutch halsdoek<\/em> (neckerchicef, scarf, shawl).<\/p>\n

When words beginning with h are borrowed into Russian, the h becomes \u0433 (g), as there is no h sound in Russian. This is probably why I didn’t spot the connection between \u0433\u0430\u043b\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043a<\/strong> and Halstuch<\/strong> before.<\/p>\n

Halstuch<\/strong> comes from Hals<\/em> (tail, stem, cervix neck, throat) and Tuch<\/em> (cloth, sheet, square, blanket, drape, kerchief, towel, scarf, dishcloth).<\/p>\n

There are quite a few other Russian words borrowed from German<\/a>, including \u0432\u0430\u0445\u0442\u0451\u0440<\/strong> (porter, janitor, watchman) – from W\u00e4chter<\/em>, \u043a\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043e\u0444\u0435\u043b\u044c<\/strong> (potatoes) – from Kartoffel<\/em>, and \u043a\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0438\u0440<\/strong> (keyboard instrument) – from Klavier<\/em>.<\/p>\n
