Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗home
From Northern Middle English hame, from Old English hām, from Proto-West Germanic *haim, from Proto-Germanic *haimaz. Cognate with German Heim, Swedish hem, Dutch heem, heim- and West Frisian hiem. Note that this pronunciation is not derived from Old Norse, as is sometimes assumed on the basis of Danish and Norwegian hjem - the pronunciation in Geordie is directly derivable from the Old English form by regular rules. Compare traditional styen (“stone”) [stjɛn] from stān, or clem (“stone, cloam”) [klɛm] from clām. It can also be found in some other northern dialects like Yorkshire.
