Luxembourgish

Etymology

From Old High German havēn, northern variant of habēn, from Proto-Germanic *habjaną. 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 form hief is perhaps influenced by hief, imperative of hiewen (“to lift”), or by sief, imperative of sinn (“to be”), though this latter form is itself unclear.
