Alternative forms

• heyem (Northern English dialect)
• hjem (Geordie)
• yem (Geordie)

Etymology

From Old English h?m, from Proto-West Germanic *haim, from Proto-Germanic *haimaz. Cognate with German Heim, Swedish hem, Dutch heem, heim- and West Frisian hiem. Note that this pronunciation is not derived from Old Norse, as is sometimes assumed on the basis of Danish and Norwegian hjem - the pronunciation in Geordie is directly derivable from the Old English form by regular rules. Compare traditional [stj?n] 'stone' from st?n. It can also be found in some other northern dialects like Yorkshire.
