Flillek

Luxembourgish Etymology From an underlying lb gmh *vlügelinc or gmh *vliegelinc. The former, which is the interpretation of the Rheinisches Wörterbuch (lemma de Flügeling), would be an enhanced form of gmh vlügel wing, from lb gem-pro *flugilaz. The latter, which is phonetically more in line with the Luxembourgish form, would be from gmh vliegen to fly + the suffix gmh -linc, equivalent to gem-pro *fleuganą + gem-pro *-lingaz. Pronunciation lb /ˈflilek/ Noun m wing (of a bird or aircraft) lb Fliicht
