PG *haitijaną, OE hǣtan 1, ME hēten, MnE heat, German heizen, Dutch verhitten. This causative verb shares a root with the adjective heitr “hot” and the inchoative verb hitna 2 “grow warm”; all three presuppose an unattested strong verb PG *hītaną “be hot.” The present subjunctive, plural indicative, and imperative forms coincide with those of heita VIIa “call; be called.”
