Luxembourgish
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From Middle High German eher, from Proto-West Germanic *ahaʀ. The development of the form may have been as follows: Middle High German eher was a neuter and yielded Luxembourgish *Éier or (with a linking sound) Éijer, Éiger, originally singular and plural. Some dialects then reconstrued this form as a feminine singular (as in German Ähre), others backformed a new singular Éi, Éich. Ultimately these last also became feminine and accordingly received the plural Éien. Another dialectal variant is Acher, Aacher f with lack of umlaut and unusual -ch- from West Germanic -h- (possibly from a geminated *ahhaʀ; compare Old English æhher).
