Catalan

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Old Catalan hom, from the nominative case of Latin homō (“man”). Its pronominal use is of Germanic origin. Compare Old English man (“one, they, people”), reduced form of Old English mann (“man, person”); French on; German man (“one, they, people”); Dutch men (“one, they, people”).

Doublet of home (“man”), from Old Catalan (h)ome(n), that continues the accusative case form hominem. There are very few Latin nouns that have been inherited in more than one case form, others include drac/dragó and res/re.

Dutch

Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Dutch homme, identical to homme (“mold”), of uncertain origin, but probably related to Old Norse húm (“dusky, twilight”), from Proto-Germanic *skim- (“to shine-”), which has been compared to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover”),[1] but according to the Etymologisch Woordenboek this is extremely unlikely.[2]

Middle English

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Old English hām, from Proto-West Germanic *haim, from Proto-Germanic *haimaz.

The spellings geen, heem, neen for gon (“to go”), hom, and non (“none”) in the representation of Northern Middle English in Chaucer's The Reeve's Tale were argued by Tolkien to be from scribal confusion of ⟨e⟩ and ⟨o⟩. Smith, deeming such confusion improbable, instead posits that such spellings are an East Midland rendition of pronunciations such as [ɡæːn], [hæːm], [næːn] or [ɡɛːn], [hɛːm], [nɛːn] from the early actuation of the Great Vowel Shift in Northern Middle English. Horobin rejects this, concluding that heem is a rendition of a borrowing from Old Norse heimr, while geen and neen are analogical creations based upon it.
