Etymology
From gmw-cfr goh hemidi, from gmw-cfr gem-pro *hamiþiją. While Ripuarian Hemb as well as lb Hiem look more regular, the predominant Moselle Franconian -i- seems difficult to explain, unless one were to postulate an goh - variant goh *himidi or possibly goh *hēmidi.
Pronunciation
gmw-cfr /himp/
