/ˈhɛlftə/

Affine olandese

helft

In summary

From Middle Low German helfte, derived from half (“half”). The form entered Early Modern German via Central German. Equivalent to halb (“half”) + -te. The alternation -b- ↔ -ft- has not been levelled, probably because the same alternation occurs also—for different reasons—in native High German words (compare schreiben ↔ Schrift). Cognate with Dutch helft.
