Usage notes
- As is usual with Old English names of peoples, no singular form of Peohtas is attested. If one existed, it would have been *Piht, because of a 9th century sound change in which eo, io, and ie became i before the clusters ht, hþ, and hs when the latter were word-final or preceded a front vowel. See cniht for a word with the same alteration of i and eo.
