Abtei

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German aptīe, abbeteie, from Old High German abbateia (manuscript 12th c.), from Proto-West Germanic *abbadejā (“abbey”). Analysable as Abt +‎ -ei. The early ei-spellings are unusual, but perhaps caused by the hiatus; regular ī-forms are found alongside in Middle High German. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /apˈtaɪ̯/ Rhymes: -aɪ̯ Hyphenation: Ab‧tei === Noun === Abtei f (genitive Abtei, plural Abteien) abbey ==== Declension ==== ==== Hyponyms ==== Erzabtei Benediktinerabtei ==== Derived terms ==== Abteitor Abteikirche ==== Related terms ==== Abt === Proper noun === Abtei n (proper noun, genitive Abteis or (optionally with an article) Abtei) a municipality of South Tyrol === Further reading === “Abtei” in Duden online Friedrich Kluge (1883), “Abtei”, in John Francis Davis, transl., Etymological Dictionary of the German Language, published 1891 “Abtei” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache == Luxembourgish == === Noun === Abtei f (plural Abteien) abbey ==== Related terms ==== Abt
