Luxembourgish edit
Pronunciation edit

Noun edit
Schuel f (plural Schuelen)
Etymology 2 edit
Ultimately from Middle High German schāle, from Old High German scāla, from Proto-Germanic *skēlō. Compare German Schale, Dutch schaal.
The expected Luxembourgish form of this word would be *Schol. While there could have been an early merger with etymology 1, the word is rare or appears in non-native form also in bordering dialects of Central Franconian. Therefore it is more likely that it is a borrowing from German, which appears as Schuel by analogy (so-called Einlautung).
Noun edit
Schuel f (plural Schuelen)
