Cognate with Dutch gieren (“to scream”). Related also with German Geier (“vulture”) and gähnen, English yawn. In standard German, the word has always been associated with unrelated Gier (“greed, lust”) and is typically regarded a derivative thereof. Also compare English jeer, which could be a borrowing. ==== Verb ==== gieren (weak, third-person singular present giert, past tense gierte, past participle gegiert, auxiliary haben) to desire greedily, to lust for [with nach] (possibly dated) to open one’s jaws so as to snap ===== Conjugation ===== === Etymology 2 === From Dutch gieren, which is possibly the same word as that mentioned under etymology 1, with a semantic development “to scream, squeak” → “to make a repeated squeaking movement”. Alternatively from Dutch geren, also gieren (“to be askew”), from geer (“asymmetric piece of land”). ==== Verb ==== gieren (weak, third-person singular present giert, past tense gierte, past participle gegiert, auxiliary haben) (nautical, aviation) to yaw ===== Conjugation ===== === Further reading === “gieren” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “gieren” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “gieren” in Duden online
