^ “ -er-, suf.(3)”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007.^ “ họ̄ven, v.(1)”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007.^ “ họ̄veren, v.”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007.Spanish: cerner (es) ( takes a reflexive pronoun ), cernerse (es), levitar (es) pl, revolotear (es), volar (es).German: rütteln (de) ( of a bird of prey ), schweben (de).Galician: barutar, pairar (gl), peneirar (gl), peneirarse, atariñar, tordear (gl).French: éventiller (fr) ( of a bird ), planer (fr).Finnish: leijailla (fi), leijua (fi), lekuttaa ( of a bird ), lekutella ( of a bird ).Of a bird: to shelter ( chicks) under its body and wings ( by extension ) of a thing: to cover or surround (something).To keep (something, such as an aircraft) in a stationary state in the air.Hover ( third-person singular simple present hovers, present participle hovering, simple past and past participle hovered) ( General American ) IPA ( key): /ˈhʌvɚ/.( Received Pronunciation ) IPA ( key): /ˈhɒvə/, ( other UK also ) IPA ( key): /ˈhʌvə/.The English word is analysable as hove ( “ ( obsolete) to remain suspended, float, hover to linger, wait ” ) + -er ( frequentative suffix ). Hoven is probably derived from Old English *hōfian, from hōfon, the plural past indicative form of hebban ( “ to lift, raise ” ), from Proto-West Germanic *habbjan, from Proto-Germanic *habjaną ( “ to lift to heave ” ), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *keh₂p- ( “ to hold, seize ” ). The verb is derived from Middle English hoveren ( “ to float in the air, hover to stay ” ), probably from hoven ( “ hover of a bird: to fly high in the air, soar ” ) (which it displaced) + -er- ( frequentative suffix ). When a cursor hovers (verb sense 2.4) over a hyperlink, a tooltip explaining the hyperlinked word appears.
