From hāl +‎ -ettan. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈxɑː.let.tɑn/, [ˈhɑː.let.tɑn] === Verb === hālettan to hail, salute, greet ==== Usage notes ==== Objects or pronouns were often used with the preposition on. This was never used as a greeting or invocation like modern English hail, for this wes hāl (wassail), bēo hāl or bēo gesund were used, and ēalā was also used for invocations. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== hālettung hālettend
