Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German *kūn, contracted infinitive of queman (like hān of haben, lān of lāzen, etc.), from Old High German kweman, from Proto-West Germanic *kweman, from Proto-Germanic *kwemaną, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷémt.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Most contemporary dialects retain the contracted forms in the 2nd persons singular and plural and in the 3rd person singular, whereas the three other persons, the infinitive, and the past participle have been replaced with forms containing -m- under Standard German influence.
