hunn

== Alemannic German == === Alternative forms === hun, hund, hònn (Walser) Hund === Etymology === From Middle High German hunt, from Old High German hunt, from Proto-West Germanic *hund, from Proto-Germanic *hundaz. Cognate with German Hund, Dutch hond, English hound, Icelandic hundur. === Noun === hunn m (Issime) dog === References === Patuzzi, Umberto, ed., (2013) Luserna / Lusérn: Le nostre parole / Ünsarne börtar / Unsere Wörter [Our Words], Luserna, Italy: Comitato unitario delle isole linguistiche storiche germaniche in Italia / Einheitskomitee der historischen deutschen Sprachinseln in Italien == Luxembourgish == === Etymology === From Middle High German haben, from Old High German havēn, northern variant of habēn, from Proto-West Germanic *habbjan. The modern vocalism (-u-, -ue-) implies that the shortening into a monosyllable, common throughout western High German, must have occurred rather late in Luxembourgish. (The shift -a- → -ue- requires an open syllable.) The expected imperative would be *huef. The form hief is perhaps influenced by hief, imperative of hiewen (“to lift”), or by sief, imperative of sinn (“to be”), though this latter form is itself unclear. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /hun/ Homophone: Hunn === Verb === hunn (third-person singular present huet, preterite hat, past participle gehat, past subjunctive hätt, auxiliary verb hunn) to have ==== Conjugation ==== === Further reading === hunn in the Lëtzebuerger Online Dictionnaire == Norwegian Bokmål == === Alternative forms === ho (Nynorsk) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /hʉn/ Homophones: hund, hun === Noun === hunn m (definite singular hunnen, indefinite plural hunner, definite plural hunnene) (zoology) a female ==== Antonyms ==== hann === References === “hunn” in The Bokmål Dictionary.
