ablautn.

Brit.

/ˈablaʊt/, U.S.

/ˈæˌblaʊt/

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Ablaut.

Etymology: < German Ablaut (1819 in the specific sense with reference to a phenomenon in Indo-European languages: J. Grimm Deutsche Grammatik I. 543; from 16th cent. in more general senses in German grammarians) < ab- (see of prep.) + Laut sound (Middle High German lūt , Old High German hlūtī , lūtī , liutī , lūtīn ; either < lūt loud adj., or < its Germanic base). Compare later apophony n., which originally arose in French as a calque on the German term.It is difficult to tell whether Grimm was aware of the earlier uses by German grammarians, but the term was certainly popularized by him.
