Abstract
Although there is a long tradition of deriving Old English hlūd, Old High German hlūt ‘loud’, Old English hlӯd ‘sound’ etc. from the Proto-Indo-European root *ḱleu̯- ‘hear’, such a derivation poses insurmountable phonological problems. Several attempts have been made to explain these West Germanic formations away as analogical after seṭ-roots in the zero grade, but a closer investigation (described in this paper) has revealed that the latter formations could not serve as the source of analogy for the forms of the hlūd-type. In this article, it is proposed that the forms of the hlūd-type derive from another verbal root altogether.
