Alternative forms[edit]

Etymology[edit]
From Old High German *helpan (attested in several conjugated forms), northern variant of helfan, from Proto-Germanic *helpaną.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
hellepe (third-person singular present hellep, past tense hollep, past participle jehollepe)
- (Ripuarian, dated in some dialects) to help
- Et Sarah von bovven es e leev Mädche, it hät mer met dä schwäre Täsche jehollepe.

Usage notes[edit]
- The second and third persons singular of the present have a vowel change /ɛ/ → /e/, which is not reflected in spelling.
