Middle Low German

Etymology

From Old Saxon āld.

Cognate with English old, Dutch oud, German alt, West Frisian âld.

Pronunciation

• Stem vowel: ô²
  • (originally) IPA^(key): /ɔːlt/ or IPA^(key): /ɔlt/
  • 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.

Adjective

ôlt or olt (comparative ôlder or ö̂lder or êlder, superlative ôldest or ö̂ldest or êldest)

1. old
