Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈxɑu̯.niz/
Inflection
The descendants differ on whether the word was inflected as an a-stem or as an i-stem. Old High German has an a-stem, Old English an a-stem, and the Gothic nominative (the only attested form) could be either. However, it's more probable for an i-stem (a relatively rare class) to become an a-stem (very common) than the other way around, so it was likely an i-stem originally.
