ETYMOLOGY

{Why does the CY form (with /ou/) reflect proto-vowel U4 (MHG û), rather than the actual etymon MHG erlouben, which should be proto-vowel O4 (thus should be CY ✱✱erlojbn, NEY ✱✱erlejbn). Probably a Germanism borrowed in the 19th century (e.g., NHG erlauben > CY ✱erloubn > NEY ✱erlojbn).}
Vowel 44, Proto-Yiddish ✱ɔu
