"Schwoer" meaning in All languages combined

See Schwoer on Wiktionary

Noun [Luxembourgish]

IPA: [ˈʃwoː.ɐ] Forms: Schweeër [plural], Schwoeren [plural], Schwéiesch [feminine], Schwor [alternative]
Etymology: From Middle High German swāger, from Old High German swāgur, from Proto-Germanic *swēgraz. Cognate with Hunsrik Schwoher, German Schwager, Dutch zwager. The word originally behaved like boer, Hoer, Joer, kloer, moer, thus being optionally monosyllabic in the basic form and usually contracted before vocalic suffixes; but it is now treated by analogy with masculine agent nouns in -er.
