Middle Low German

Etymology

From Old Saxon kāld, from Proto-Germanic *kaldaz. Cognate with English cold, Dutch koud, German kalt.

Pronunciation

• Stem vowel: ô²
  • 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.
