Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German and Old High German sturm (storm). The retention of the u vowel is irregular; it was lowered to o due to a-mutation in all other West Germanic languages and even Old Norse, despite German being the one Germanic language where a-mutation most consistently occurred, especially of u to o.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ʃtʊrm/, [ʃtʊʁm], [ʃtʊɐ̯m]
