Etymology
li ine-pro
From earlier li schōn, from Old Limburgish li *skō, from li gmw-pro *skōh, from li gem-pro *skōhaz.
The plural form li schōn was reinterpreted as a singular, as also happened in modern Ripuarian gmw-cfr Schohn, lb Schong, and nl schoen (whereas fy - retains fy skoech, plural fy skuon).
