heet -heet

Etymology
lb gmw-pro gem-pro 2
From lb gmh höuvet, from lb goh *houvid (attested as goh houvot, goh hovit, goh hovidis), northern variant of goh houbit.
The -v- was elided, probably when the vowel or diphthong was still rounded, thus gmh *höuet, whence the modern Luxemburgish form is regularly derived. Cognate with de Haupt, nl hoofd, en head.
