Middle Low German

Etymology

From Old Saxon kāld. Cognate with English cold, Dutch koud, German kalt.

Pronunciation

• Stem vowel: ô²
  • (originally) IPA^(key): /kɔːlt/ or IPA^(key): /kɔlt/
  • 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 began to apply the more common vowel length across all forms.

Adjective

kōlt or kolt (comparative kôlder or kö̂lder, superlative kôldest or kö̂ldest)

1. cold
