"Éierchen" meaning in Luxembourgish

See Éierchen in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈɜɪ̯.ɐ.ɕən] Forms: Éiercher [plural], Néierchen [alternative, archaic]
Etymology: From rebracketing of Néierchen, diminutive of Néier, archaic form of Nier (“kidney”). Perhaps reinforced by association with etymology 2 because kidneys may look like little ears. The neuter gender is secondary and due to the normal plural use. Compare German Nierchen (“kidney as food”).
