kréien
Appearance
Luxembourgish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Middle High German kriegen, krīgen. Cognate with German kriegen, Dutch krijgen. The present forms exhibit regular loss of intervocalic -g-. The past subjunctive form krit goes back to underlying Middle High German *krihte (compare the widespread German pronunciation of kriegte as [kʁɪçtə]), whereas kréich goes back to a strong form (as in Dutch kreeg). The indicative forms krut and krouch are backformations from the subjunctives (by interpretation of -i-, -éi- as umlauts after the unrounding of front rounded vowels).
