No it’s not. I’m afraid it’s not quite as transparent as that ;) but you’re on the right track.

Is the form on the right a past participle, or is my knowledge of German clouding my judgement?

In this case, your knowledge of German is clouding your judgment haha. The prefix is related to the German but has a different use in Gotski.

No. Sorry, I misread your question before and thought that the <T> was x-sampa/T/. The initial is the interdental fricative. Since I messed up I’ll also give you a couple extra clues...you have the right stem vowel now and you were closer with the stem ending in <k> than <g>.
