In summary

From Middle High German sæjen, from Old High German sāen, sājen, sāwen, from Proto-West Germanic *sāan, from Proto-Germanic *sēaną, from Proto-Indo-European *seh₁-. Compare Dutch zaaien, English sow, Danish så, Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐌹𐌰𐌽 (saian). The expected modern spelling would be with an -h- to mark the hiatus (as in mähen, nähen), but this was avoided to distinguish säen from sähen, subjunctive of sehen (“to see”).
