interesting, do those languages have words similar to "ic," "scüldig," or "fur"?
because things like that are what made it feel German to me

ic:
- English I, earlier ich (now obsolete)
- Low German ik, ek
- Dutch ik
- Danish jeg
- The Garish word is palatalised like earlier forms of the English word

scüldig:
- no modern English cognate, but it would be shildy, and it's related to the word ‘should’
- Low German schuldig, schüldig
- Dutch schuldig
- Danish skyldig

fur:
- English before and for
- Low German för
- Dutch voor, veur (dialectal)
- Danish for
- the expected Garish reflex would actually be ‘for’, but is irregularly derived due to Middle Garish fuckery
