In north-western Germany you also hear /ˈvɪtˌveː/, where you could imagine an association with Weh (sorrow), but it's more probably comparable to Afrikaans weduwee, i.e. the automatic development of a secondary stress. I've heard it several times, but I don't know if it's common enough to deserve a mention. 90.186.170.69 23:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
