Sekonn

Luxembourgish Etymology From lb la-med secunda, at least in part through lb de Sekunde. Isolated earlier attestations notwithstanding, the word did not become common in German and Dutch before the 17th century. It seems doubtful that the reduction nd > nn would still have been active at that time. If not, the form was probably altered by analogy with lb Stonn hour as against de Stunde. Pronunciation lb [zəˈkon] Noun f Sekënnchen second unit of time lb Time
