Hall

German noun. Not in Duden; not in de.Wiktionary. Would surely have a plural if it exists. SemperBlotto (talk) 04:25, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Is in Duden: www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Hall_Klang_Laut

Is in DWDS: www.dwds.de/wb/Hall

Is in Adelung's: www.zeno.org/Adelung-1793/A/Hall,+der or www.woerterbuchnetz.de/Adelung?lemma=hall

Is in Grimms' DWB: www.dwds.de/wb/dwb/Hall or www.woerterbuchnetz.de/DWB?lemma=hall

Is somewhat in canoo (with inflection - which can be incorrect -, without definition): www.canoo.net/Hall?lookup=caseSensitive

Is not in de.Wikt - but who cares?

Just searching for "der Hall des Donners" gives enough Google Book results to attest this word.

Dictionaries mention a plural "Halle", but the plural is rare and the dictionaries say so too. Donnerhall has a plural Donnerhalle (e.g.: "laute Donnerhalle" or "grosse Donnerhalle" in a poem "An Gott", "Stürme, Blitz und Donnerhalle", "werden Donnerhalle / Eure Worte", "Und fernher zittern Donnerhalle"), but finding the plural Halle for Hall is more complicated as there is also a feminine Halle. -84.161.56.19 07:59, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
