zweeeeëg
Luxembourgish edit
Etymology edit
From zwee (“two”) + Ee (“egg”) + -eg, after German zweieiig (literally “two-eggy”). Luxembourgish uses ë to indicate hiatus in some cases, but only for the short or reduced vowel [ə]; therefore the spelling is zweeeeëg and not *zweeëeëg.
Pronunciation edit

- dizygotic, non-identical (twins, etc.)
