Korvel

Dutch edit

Etymology edit

First attested as corvele in 1331. Etymology uncertain. Proposed derivations from Latin corbele (“type of wooden beam”), goor (“swamp”) and a compound of korf (“basket”) and lo (“light forest”) do not match well with the oldest attestations of the toponym.

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /ˈkɔr.vəl/
Hyphenation: Kor‧vel

Proper noun edit

Korvel n

A neighbourhood of Tilburg, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands.
