Luxembourgish
Etymology
From Middle High German küninc, from Old High German kuning, from Proto-Germanic *kuningaz.
The Luxembourgish form does not continue the southern Middle High German variant künic (inflected künige), which is due to dissimilation. Rather, the -ek represents a general denasalisation of Middle High German -inc in final unstressed position. Compare Éislek and German Ösling (“Oesling”, a region in northern Luxembourg). The feminine Kinnigin was influenced by German Königin.
Pronunciation
Noun
Kinnek m (plural Kinneken, feminine Kinnigin)
