helllicht

German

Alternative forms

  • hellicht (superseded)

Etymology

From hell (bright) +‎ licht (bright, light, lit). Often interpreted, however, as hell + -icht (as in Dickicht, etc.), for which reason the now nonstandard spelling hellicht remains current.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈhɛlɪçt/, /ˈhɛl.lɪçt/
  • Audio (Germany (Berlin)):(file)

Adjective

helllicht (strong nominative masculine singular helllichter, not comparable)
