Mound

From a merger of Middle High German māne (from Old High German māno, from Proto-West Germanic *mānō), and Middle High German mānōt (from Old High German mānōd, from Proto-West Germanic *mānōþ).
The two words were merged throughout Central Franconian (compare Mond (“moon; month”)). The distinction between Mound and Mount in current Luxembourgish spelling mirrors German Mond versus Monat. The plural Mounden is a neologism also based on German.

Stroum

Possibly inherited from Middle High German strōm, a merger of stroum (“stream”) with unrelated strām (“streak”), respectively from Proto-Germanic *straumaz and *strēmaz. The former is cognate with Dutch stroom, English stream, the latter with dated Dutch straam (“wale”). Alternatively borrowed from German Strom (compare Rheinisches Wörterbuch: “nach dem Nhd.”). If so, not a recent borrowing, however, and thus predating the use in electricity (which is at any rate influenced by German).

[ɡəˈhɑɪ̯.ən]

From Old High German hīwan (“to marry”), from Proto-Germanic *hīwijaną, related to *hīwą (“marriage”).
The remarkable semantic development of this verb can be followed from Old High German through Middle High German to modern German dialects; it goes: “to marry” → “to copulate, fuck” → “to rape” → “to plague” → “to hit” → “to throw”. The last sense is also found in Alemannic German. Cognate with Dutch huwen (“to marry”, in early modern Dutch also “to fuck, rape”). Also related with German Heirat (“marriage”).

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.

lb-noun

Noper m (plural Noperen, feminine Nopesch)

From Middle High German nāchbūre, syncopic form of nāchgebūre, from Old High German nāhgibūro, from Proto-Germanic *nēhwagabūrô. Cognate with German Nachbar, Dutch nabuur, English neighbour. The devoicing of the labial was likely caused by the preceding voiceless -ch- in Middle High German. Alternatively it may be simply because postvocalic -b- is very rare in Luxembourgish.

blatzegen (dative plural)

The original meaning is “blear, bleary-eyed”, from Blatz (“gound, sleepy dust”) and blatzen (“to be blear, goundy”). Related dialectal forms show that the -a- in these words is (regularly) derived from an underlying -i-. Blatzen might hence be a doublet of blécksen (“to blink”, the natural reaction to dry eyes), from Bléck (“look, glance”), older also Black, here with the native vocalism preserved and with -cks- → -tz-, a fairly common development in High German.

bleary-eyed, blear, having gound in one’s eyes

If the -ch- is old, it may be due to hypercorrection (during the interaction of Frankish and High German influences), otherwise it may be a later adaptation to the related Luxembourgish briechen (“to break”), Broch (“fracture”). The feminine gender probably from Mëllech (“milk”) and/or Zopp (“soup”), perhaps from an underlying compound *Brachmëllech, *Brachzopp, the former of which is attested in adjacent dialects in Germany.

[ˈbʀɜɪ̯.səl]

From Middle High German *Brüessele, from Middle Dutch Bruessele, of Germanic origin, composed from *brōk (“marsh”) + *sali (“building, room”).
The Luxembourgish -éi- continues the umlaut of Germanic -ō-, in line with the derivation from Proto-West Germanic *brōk (“marsh”).

Schwéierpapp

lb-noun

Schwéierpapp m (plural Schwéierpappen, feminine Schwéiermamm)

Schwéierpappen (plural)
Schwéiermamm (feminine)

[ˈʃwɜɪ̯.ɐˌpɑp]

From Schwéier- + Papp. The first element may be either Middle High German swiger (“mother-in-law”) or sweher (“father-in-law”), from Proto-Germanic *swegrō and *swehuraz respectively. While German generalised the feminine in Schwiegervater (displacing obsolete Schwähervater), the Luxembourgish development may have been the other way round, because only Middle High German sweher regularly yields Schwéier. From swiger one should expect either *Schwiger or *Schweier. However, it is also possible that these were altered after Schwéiesch (“sister-in-law”), which derives from yet another related word, namely Proto-Germanic *swēgraz (“brother-in-law”).


Schwéiermamm

lb-noun

Schwéiermamm f (plural Schwéiermammen, masculine Schwéierpapp)

Schnauer

Schnauer f (plural Schnaueren, masculine Eedem)

From Middle High German snur, from Old High German snur, from Proto-Germanic *snuzō. The Luxembourgish form requires a lengthened Middle High German *snūr; compare the attested (but different) lengthening snuor.


Gesell

From Old High German gisellio. Cognate with German Geselle.


Chancëgläichheet

Chancëgläichheet f (plural Chancëgläichheet)
