am
hellichten
Tag
Formerly standard spelling of
am helllichten Tag
which was deprecated in the
spelling reform (Rechtschreibreform) of 1996
.
Usage notes
edit
This spelling remains more common than other superseded spellings, since many speakers fail to analyse
hell(l)icht
as a compound
hell
+
licht
, but rather interpret it as
hell
+ the ending
-icht
(as in
Dickicht
, etc.).
