OP Is there an explanation for the -ght found in so many words
that seem to have no other connection to each other besides
these three letters? Was there some sort of "contraction" of
words early our languages' development that resulted in these?
I am thinking of words like: might, fought, sight, wrought,
sought, light, etc.
