From 古期英語 *-hǣd/*-hǣdu, -hād, from Proto-West Germanic *-haidu, *-haidi, from Proto-Germanic *haiduz. Compare hod.
If the reconstruction *-hǣd rather than *-hǣdu is adopted for the ancestor of forms with /ɛ̝ː/, the final vowel in their reflexes would have to be levelled from the 古期英語 oblique cases. Since dative -hāde would probably form an insufficient basis for levelling, this vowel was presumably extended to forms descending from -hād. The 15th-century presence of /oː/ rather than expected /ɔ̝ː/ in such forms is perhaps due to low stress; compare a similar change in two and who due to the influence of preceding /w/.
