Noun [Luxembourgish]

IPA: /heːl/ Forms: Heelen [plural]
Rhymes: -eːl Etymology: From an underlying Middle High German *höuwel, from the verb houwen, whence Luxembourgish haen (“to hit, chop”); derived either directly from the verb with the tool suffix -el or as a diminutive of the noun houwe, from Old High German houwa (“hoe”), related to the verb houwan (“to hew”). Alternatively or additionally, the word could be from Middle High German *heiel, diminutive of heie, from Old High German heia (“battering ram”), since related words in Central Franconian also mean “ram; wooden hammer; masher of an oil press”.
