ootmen
Luxembourgish edit
Etymology edit
Derived from the noun at hand in Otem (“breath”), under the influence of German atmen, from Old High German ātamōn. This influence is seen in the -t-, but also in the fact that the inherited verbs throughout Central Franconian have umlaut (ädeme, ödeme, compare Middle High German ætemen). Compare also Dutch ademen.
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
ootmen (third-person singular present otemt, past participle geotemt, auxiliary verb hunn)
