Given the initial h aspir\u00e9 (meaning the initial h was pronounced into early modern French and still blocks elision of preceding vowels), the word has usually been given a Germanic source. Perhaps most frequently it has been traced to the Old Norse verb reflected in Old Icelandic heimta \"to draw, pull, call on, claim, crave, get back, recover,\" despite semantic and phonetic objections. Also proffered has been a presumed Old Low Franconian *haimi\u00fe\u014dn \"to shelter, accommodate.\" Both etyma are derivatives of Germanic *haima- \"dwelling\" (see home entry 1 ). The possibility of a spoken Latin source has been revived in Dictionnaire \u00e9tymologique de l'ancien fran\u00e7ais (on line), which suggests *ambit\u0101re, from Latin ambitus \"circuit\" (see ambit )\u2014see full discussion and bibliography there.",
