Noun

IPA: /ˈhuːfə/ Audio: De-Hufe.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German hūfe, hūve, a northern byform of huobe, from Old High German huoba (also hōva, huova), from Proto-Germanic *hōbō. The v-form is expected only in Central Franconian, but irregularly established itself also in East Central German, possibly by association with hof (“estate, farmstead”). It was reinforced by Middle Low German hôve, from Old Saxon hōva. Further cognate with Dutch hoeve.
