Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English heofon, from Proto-West Germanic *hebun.
2. Forms without a final vowel are from the Old English a-stem variant, while forms with one continue weak (n-stem) heofone or are generalised from the Old English ō-stem accusative or the genitive or dative of both variants. See: Old English Nouns 'heofon', Old English Nouns 'heofon'.
