"etymology_text": "From Middle High German geven, northwestern variant of geben, from Old High German gevan, geban, from Proto-West Germanic *geban, from Proto-Germanic *gebaną. See there for cognates.\nThe sense “to become” is found throughout Moselle Franconian and also (though less commonly) in Ripuarian. It can be understood as a generalization from expressions such as “wheat gives good bread” or “2 and 2 gives 4”. Compare German ergeben. Imagine also a sentence like et gëtt schéint Wieder (“there will be nice weather”), which was then turned around to d’Wieder gëtt schéin (“the wheather will be nice”). The first sentence corresponds to German es gibt schönes Wetter, but the second would be ungrammatical (*das Wetter gibt schön).",

See there for cognates.\nThe sense “to become” is found throughout Moselle Franconian and also (though less commonly) in Ripuarian. It can be understood as a generalization from expressions such as “wheat gives good bread” or “2 and 2 gives 4”. Compare German ergeben. Imagine also a sentence like et gëtt schéint Wieder (“there will be nice weather”), which was then turned around to d’Wieder gëtt schéin (“the wheather will be nice”). The first sentence corresponds to German es gibt schönes Wetter, but the second would be ungrammatical (*das Wetter gibt schön).",
