Étymologie (Anglais)

From Middle High German sumer, from Old High German sumar, from Proto-West Germanic *sumar.
The expected modern form is Summer, as indeed found in most southern dialects, such as Alemannic German Summer, Bavarian Summer and Luxembourgish Summer. The vocalism -o- is of Central and Low German origin (compare Middle Low German som[m]er). Further cognates are Dutch zomer, West Frisian simmer, English summer, Danish sommer, Icelandic sumar.
