Etymology
de island :inh gmh:insel<id:island><ety:inh<goh:isila<id:island><ety:inh<gmw-pro:*insulā<id:island>>>>>
From de gmh insel, gmh insele, gmh isele, from de goh isila, goh *insila, from de gmw-pro *isulā, gmw-pro *insulā, borrowed from de la *isula, la insula island.
Native Middle High German words for “island” were gmh ouwe and gmh wert; cf. modern de Aue meadow by a river and de Werder river island. Other borrowings were gmh eilant, gmh einlant (from Old Frisian; see de Eiland) and the rare gmh īle (from Old French, ultimately from the same Latin word as above).
