Zonk

From Middle High German zūn, from Old High German zūn, from Proto-Germanic *tūną (“enclosure”). Cognate with German Zaun (“fence”), Dutch tuin (“garden”), English town.
Since Luxembourgish velarises Middle High German -ūn-, -iun- only in open syllables, the expected nominative singular would be *Zaun. The form Zonk is a backformation from the dative singular *Zong by analogy with such words as Spronk (from Middle High German sprunc, dative sprunge). Eventually the final -k was generalised also in the plural; likely to avoid homophony with zéng (“ten”). The Rheinisches Wörterbuch still attests singular Zonk with plural Zéng for the region of Bitburg.

Dugend

Possibly inherited from Middle High German dugent, from Old High German *dugundi, northern variant of tugundi, from Proto-Germanic *dugunþō. Cognate with Dutch deugd, English douth. The form is phonetically regular, but the Rheinisches Wörterbuch considers both this word and the rhyming Jugend (“youth”) borrowings from German. At any rate, the predominant word in older Luxembourgish was Duucht, from Proto-West Germanic *duhti, which is a related but different formation.

personal trait, characteristic (good or bad)


Lous

Probably from a merger of two roots: 1.)

wäerten

[ˈvɛːə̯.tən]

From Middle High German werden (“to become”). Non-auxiliary and passive-auxiliary use became obsolete over time, being assumed by ginn (literally “to give”, an unusual semantic development shared by most of Moselle Franconian). This led to the loss of all past forms and ultimately the generalisation of /t/ to the 1st and 3rd persons plural. Cognate with German werden, Dutch worden, English worth, Icelandic verða.

Ech wäert mer dat emol ukucken.

Du wäerts dech wonneren!

Et wäert muer schneien.

Se wäerten nach op der Schaff sinn.

They’ll still be at work. / They are probably still at work.

(auxiliary) Used with the infinitive of a verb to form the future tense.
