solch, pron., ‘such,’ from the equiv. MidHG. solich, solh (sülich), OHG. sulih, solih (hh and single h); corresponding to OSax. sulic, and Du. zulk. Just as AS. swâ and Goth. swa represent HG. and LG. sô, so AS. swylč (E. such), and Goth. swaleiks, ‘such,’ represent sulîk. For the form and meaning of the Teut. suffix lîko (liho-) comp. lich and welcher.
