Luxembourgish edit

Etymology edit

From a merger of Middle High German māne (from Old High German māno, from Proto-West Germanic *mānō), and Middle High German mānōt (from Old High German mānōd, from Proto-West Germanic *mānōþ).

The two words were merged throughout Central Franconian (compare Mond (moon; month)). The distinction between Mound and Mount in current Luxembourgish spelling mirrors German Mond versus Monat. The plural Mounden is a neologism also based on German.
