wolt

wolt

1. (archaic) second-person singular simple present indicative of woll

• Stem vowel: ô²
  • IPA^(key): (originally) /wɔːlt/, /wɔlt/
  • 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.

From Old Saxon wāld, from Proto-West Germanic *walþu, see also Old English weald, Old Norse völlr.
