Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht
The Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht, Fasnacht (in Switzerland) or Fasnat/Faschnat (in Vorarlberg), is the pre-Lenten carnival in Alemannic folklore in Switzerland, southern Germany, Alsace and Vorarlberg.
==Etymology==
Popular etymology often links ''Fastnacht'' (in Mainz also ''Fassenacht'', in Switzerland ''Fasnacht'', in Swabia ''Fasnet'', ''Fasent'') with ''fasten'' ("to fast") – allegedly from celebrations on the eve preceding fasting. Comparison of dialect variants however yields an OHG ''
*fasanaht'', with an element ''fasa-'' of unclear meaning. A likely derivation looks to PIE ' "purify" (cognate to ''pava-mana''), or alternatively to Middle High German ''vaselen'' "prosper, bud", and interprets the festival as a fertility rite.
''Fasching'' (MHG ''vaschanc'' or ''vaschang'') is related, probably originally with a second element ''-gang'' instead of ''-nacht''.
