Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

From Middle High German heben, heven (rarer heffen), from Old High German heffen, heven, from Proto-West Germanic *habbjan. Compare Dutch heffen, English heave, Danish hæve. Doublet of hieven and kapieren. The -b- is regular in the past tense and participle. In Middle High German the paradigm was regularised by spreading -b- to the present tense; reinforced in East Central German by the local shift -v- → -b- (as in Oben for Ofen). The fricative is preserved in related Hefe (“yeast”). The original past forms hub, gehaben were retained until Early Modern German. The verb was then shifted to the class of fliegen etc. (Compare Dutch heffen, which was also shifted, though to a different ablaut class.)
