Q: In the German word "Winter" (winter), why didn't the High German Consonant Shift change 't' to 'z' /ts/, so as to be "Winzer"?

FlatAssemblerIn the German word "Winter" (winter), why didn't the High German Consonant Shift change 't' to 'z' /ts/, so as to be "Winzer"? German "Winter", just like English "winter", comes from Proto-Germanic *wintruz, and Proto-Germanic *t, in most cases, changes to 'z' /ts/ in German.
