Geimer

Luxembourgish Etymology lb :inh gmh:gingebere<ety:der<la:gingiber>> 1 From lb gmh gingebere, from lb la gingiber. The Luxembourgish is probably based on a metathesised variant gmh *gigembere (compare attested fro gigimbre alongside fro gingembre, dum gigeberre, modern nl gember). By regular loss of intervocalic -g-, this would then have developed through gmh *gīmbere into the contemporary form. Pronunciation lb [ˈɡɑɪ̯mɐ] Noun m - ginger spice lb Ingwer from German, now commonest Gingembre from French lb ca. 1800 Traditional Zu Arel op der Knippchen adapted to modern orthography Gläich ass de Mann bekëmmert: Hei, Mod! Schwenk du e Glas! An huel déi zënne Kännchen an zap vum beschte Faass! Setz alles bei dat Feier a maach et gliddeg heess! Donk Zocker dran a Geimer, da kënnt se an de Schweess! At once the husband takes charge: Hey, maid! You rinse a glass! And take the tin jug and tap from the best barrel! Set it all on the fire and make it glowing hot! Put in sugar and ginger, so she’ll start to sweat! Further reading
