Etymology

From Old High German *havēn, northern variant of habēn, from Proto-Germanic *habjaną. The modern vocalism (-u-/-ue-) implies that the shortening into a monosyllable, common throughout western High German, seems to have occurred rather late in Luxembourgish. (The shift -a- → -ue- requires an open syllable.)

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /hun/
