Artillerie

[ˌɑχtiləˈʀiː]

Borrowed from German Artillerie and French artillerie.


Heel

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”.

From Old High German hamar, from Proto-Germanic *hamaraz. Cognate with German Hammer, Dutch hamer, English hammer, Icelandic hamar.


Minn

Dréibänk

[ˈdʀɜɪ̯ˌbæŋk]

dréien (“to turn”) + Bänk (“bench”). From late Middle High German dræbank, perhaps through German Drehbank.


Harf

Probably through modern German Harfe, from Old High German harfa, from Proto-Germanic *harpǭ. The expected form is *Haarf; the actual form could perhaps be native (with an exceptional development as in werfen), but with regard to the non-everyday character of the word borrowing from German seems more likely. Cognate with Dutch harp, English harp.

Biz

The use for a vessel is exclusively Luxembourgish (in the Rheinisches Wörterbuch only given for the border village of Körperich). A more widespread sense is an instrument for hitting, which also occurs in Luxembourgish Uessebiz (“pizzle”). This is either from Dutch pees (cf. bullenpees) or rather a derivative of Middle High German bōzen (“to hit”). However, it is difficult to connect the two meanings. Thus alternatively perhaps comparable to regional German Bietz (“breast, mamma”) and further possibly from Old French piz (“udder”). The semantic connection in this case may be a spouted drinking vessel for children, but this is speculative.
