eedel
Luxembourgish
Etymology
From German edel, from Old High German edili, from Proto-Germanic *aþlijaz or *aþiluz, derived from *aþalą, whence Adel (also from German). The inherited Luxembourgish form *iedel is attested in a few derivatives like Iedelmann (“nobleman”), Iedelsteen (“precious stone”), but these have now also been displaced by ee-forms.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈeːdel/, [ˈeː.dəl]
Adjective
eedel (masculine eedelen, neuter eedelt, comparative méi eedel, superlative am eedelsten)
