Luxembourgish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle High German rōr n. Cognate with German Rohr, Dutch roer. The umlauted plural continues Middle High German rœre f (German Röhre). The two formations have been merged in different ways throughout Central Franconian. Redistribution as singular and plural is also found in the western Eifel, whereas the shift to the masculine gender appears to be exclusively Luxembourgish.

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

Rouer m (plural Réier, diminutive Réierchen)

  1. tube, pipe, duct
