## Middle Low German
### Etymology

From Old Saxon āld.
Cognate with English old, Dutch oud, German alt, West Frisian âld.

### Pronunciation

* Stem vowel: ô²
** (originally) IPA: /ɔːlt/ or IPA: /ɔlt/
** While the combination /ld/ originally lengthened the vowel in Old Saxon, in several Middle Low German dialects it was treated like a geminate, or had actually become /lː/, and in turn shortened long vowels occurring before it. Further, the vowel was shortened before /lt/ from final obstruent devoicing. Dialects then often begun to apply the more common vowel length across all forms.

### Adjective

ôlt or olt (comparative ôlder or ö̂lder or êlder, superlative ôldest or ö̂ldest or êldest)
* old

#### Declension

The longer forms become rarer in the course of the period.

#### Alternative forms

* old

#### Descendants

* Low German: ald
** German Low German: old, oold, ol, olt
*** → German: oll
* Plautdietsch: oolt
