Re: Why there is t- in German tausend "thousand"?

So <t> is old (while e.g. diot and its derivatives have thoroughly
either <d-> or <th->). In my robotical opinion, it's a completely
different etymon - a substantived participle *dhú-h1s-nt-ih2/4 'the
highest numeral not compounded by other numerals', with *dhu > Goth.
du and *h1es- 'be' (Goth. du mostly translates Gk. en; Gk. tò enón,
pl. tà enónta means 'everything possible')
