"walrus" meaning in Dutch

See walrus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈʋɑlrʏs/ Audio: Nl-walrus.ogg Forms: walrussen [plural], walrusje [diminutive, neuter]
Etymology: The origin of this word is not wholly certain, with several theories proposed. Probably borrowed from Danish hvalros or Swedish valross, from an inversion of Old Norse hrosshvalr (“horse-whale”). Equivalent to wal (“whale; large sea-animal”) + ros (“horse”). The Old Norse word may, however, been a folk-etymological modification of Old Norse rossmal, related to Proto-Germanic *rusta-, from the rust colour of the animal. Preference for borrowing the inverted form could have been due to the influence of the already existing Dutch compound walvis (“whale”, literally “whale-fish”).
