wolt
English edit
Verb edit
wolt
- (archaic) second-person singular simple present indicative of woll
Middle Low German edit
Pronunciation edit
- Stem vowel: ô²
- IPA(key): (originally) /wɔːlt/, /wɔlt/
- While the combination /ld/ originally lengthened the vowel in Old Saxon, in several Middle Low German dialects it was treated like a geminate, or had actually become /lː/, and in turn shortened long vowels occurring before it. Further, the vowel was shortened before /lt/ from final obstruent devoicing. Dialects then often begun to apply the more common vowel length across all forms.
Etymology 1 edit
From Old Saxon wāld, from Proto-West Germanic *walþu, see also Old English weald, Old Norse völlr.
