Luxembourgish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German wale, wole, from Old High German wala and its ablaut variant wola (the latter assimilated from older wela). Middle High German a and o in open syllables merge in Luxembourgish, so it cannot be decided which of the forms underlies (except possibly from historic written sources). Dialects to the south-east of Luxembourg have o, those to the north and north-east have a (cf. Ripuarian wall, Limburgish waal). Further cognate with German wohl, Dutch wel, English well.
