Alternative forms

Etymology
From Middle High Germandiserm, whose neuter was dit in Central Franconian (other Middle High German diz). The regular outcome would be disse vs. det. The vocalic variation was levelled one way or the other in all dialects. Levelling of the consonantism remained optional and probably occurred only after the determiner had been chiefly restricted to periods of time.
