De Wopereis
Dutch
editEtymology
editFirst attested as wapenreyse in 1460. Etymology uncertain. A compound of Middle Dutch *wapen (“stagnant water, swamp”) and reis (“elevated place”) is unlikely because of a lack of attestations of the components. Compare Wapenveld.
Pronunciation
editProper noun
edit- A hamlet in Oost Gelre, Gelderland, Netherlands
