"Éierchen" meaning in All languages combined

See Éierchen on Wiktionary

Noun [Luxembourgish]

IPA: [ˈəɪ̯ɐɕən] Forms: Éiercher [plural], Néierchen [alternative, archaic]
Etymology: From rebracketing of Néierchen, diminutive of Néier, archaic form of Nier (“kidney”). Likely reinforced by association with etymology 2 because kidneys may look like little ears. The neuter gender may be due to the same reason, apart from the predominant plural use. Compare German Nierchen (“kidney as food”).
