| Germ.reg. | aegerst, egerste | Magpie, 288. The German forms, many of them |
| deeply transformed, indicate the presence of an Illyrian substratum, considering the occurrence in Albanian of the semanteme aigastra (see below), which cannot be a borrowing; Germ. aigastra is thus one of the most ancient forms. The nearest German forms are agistra,ageschta,aegerst,egerste in whichthe root gast- is still apparent, and from there the more or less fancy corruptions aglaster > galster > alster,elster > heister > hegster > atzel;hechter > fachtel > falkel;egster > alkster > elks;ergste > eister > asta etc., in which the root gast- becomes blurred. For another example of corruptions of the names of a familiar bird, see Stork, 127, Germ. (odebar). |
