asteigen
Luxembourgish edit
Etymology edit
Partial calque of German einsteigen. The verb *steigen and its compounds are not attested in any of the Luxembourgish dictionaries before the LOD. Neighbouring dialects of Central Franconian also have it in very limited use only (cf. Ripuarian steeje). Moreover, the expected Luxembourgish form would be *steien.
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
