Läinzeechen

Luxembourgish Etymology Ultimately from lb goh līhzeihhan, from lb gmw-pro *līkataikn, from gmw-pro *līk body + gmw-pro *taikn mark, sign. The form was variously reinterpreted. In nl litteken as “member mark”, in archaic de Leimzeichen as “glue mark” (from the “gluing” of the wound). The Luxembourgish is probably an assimilated form of the latter. Pronunciation lb [ˈlæˑɪ̯nˌt͡seːɕən] Noun n f Läinzeechen scar lb Narb from German Cicatrice from French Further reading LAINZEECHEN
