Etymology

edit

FromMiddle High Germanhaben, fromOld High Germanhavēn, northern variant ofhabēn, fromProto-West Germanic*habbjan.

The modern vocalism (-u-, -ue-) implies that the shortening into a monosyllable, common throughout western High German, must have occurred rather late in Luxembourgish. (The shift-a- →-ue- requires an open syllable.)

The expected imperative would be*huef. The formhief is perhaps influenced byhief, imperative ofhiewen(“to lift”), or bysief, imperative ofsinn(“to be”), though this latter form is itself unclear.
