erquicken
German
Etymology
From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), from Old High German irquicken. Equivalent to er- + quick (“lively”) + -en. The simplex quick is Low German, but in the verb the -i- is due to regular lack of a-mutation.
