Middle Dutch

Etymology

From Old Dutch *hāko, *hako, from Proto-West Germanic *hākō, *hakō, from Proto-Germanic *hēkô, *hakô.

Limburgish ao requires West Germanic long ā (Middle Dutch â, as also universally in High German). However, Westphalian Haken requires West Germanic short a and suggests that the latter may also have co-existed in Dutch.

Noun

hâke or hāke m
