eend

nl-noun

eend f (plural eenden, diminutive eendje n)

eenden (plural)
eendje (diminutive neuter)

Afrikaans: eend

Jersey Dutch: êntśe (from the diminutive)

From Middle Dutch ent, eent, from Old Dutch ened, from Proto-West Germanic *anad, from Proto-Germanic *anadz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énh₂ts. Cognate with German Ente.
The sense “Citroën 2CV” is shared with German Ente.

Coordinate term: woerd

A duck, waterfowl of the family Anatidae excluding the subfamily Anserinae; in non-scientific usage the term may be reserved for only the smaller (not goose-like) members of the Anatidae or reserved for females only.

topper

topper m (plural toppers, diminutive toppertje n)

From top + -er.
The bird name is generally taken to derive from the noun top ("top"), not the adjective top ("great, amazing"). Some have instead adduced the dialectal word dobber (referring to both the greater scaup and the tufted duck), which was apparently current in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen at some point, with devoicing of both d- (to t-) and -bb- (to -pp-) yielding this form.
