haiteg

Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Middle High German hǖdich, from Old High German *hiudīg, northern variant of hiutīg. By surface analysis, haut (“today”) +‎ -eg. Cognate with German heutig, Dutch huidig.

The t is from the underlying adverb (in turn from final devoicing) and/or influenced by German. That it cannot be original is evidenced (beyond the general lack of shifted d in Luxembourgish) by the “short” diphthongs [ɑʊ̯], [ɑɪ̯], which developed only before voiced sounds.
