• naſchen (in fraktur)

From Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value), from Old High German nascōn (“to nibble; smack”), from Proto-West Germanic *hnaskwōn (“to make soft; tenderize; crush; grind”). Cognate with English nesh (“to soften; act timidly”) and English nosh (“snack”). More at nesh.
