Huth's reading of f116v: "gâs" as "ganz" confirmed in medieval German corpus
#19
That's AI nonsense. Sorry. What changes is the word that's emphasized and thus takes center stage.

“Nimm schnell mich” means: Choose me quickly. (Pick me quickly) You'd say this, for example, when playing soccer in a group and selecting players; it's said by someone who wants to be picked before everyone else. Here, the emphasis is on "mich" (me).

"Nimm mich schnell": “Pick me quick” means: Choose me quickly. Here, the emphasis is on “quickly.”

It’s not about me, but about the speed. That’s the difference.


The last word indicates what should be emphasized...

By the way, I wouldn’t read too much into the long “s”; even if it was common practice, “common” in medieval writing meant something quite different from what “common” means today. There simply wasn’t a fixed set of rules that everyone followed. The “mich” is most likely really a “mich” = “me”
