elch Dutch nl: Etymology Ultimately from nl la Altacum. nl Pronunciation nl /ɛlx/ nl Nl-Elch.ogg nl Elch nl ɛlx 1 Proper noun n Othée, a village in Belgium nl exonyms German Alternative forms de Elk obsolete Etymology From de gmh elch, elhe, from de goh elaho, elho, elcho (hapax goh elach), from de gmw-pro *elh *elh(ō), from de gem-pro *elhaz. In Early Modern German, the word had been entirely replaced with de Elen (see there). In the late 18th century, the form de Elk was borrowed from en elk, principally for the North American moose (then still thus called). This subsequently triggered renewed use of de Elch, be it based on gmh - or on East Prussian dialects where the word may have survived. After the mid-19th century, de Elch began to make inroads, mainly because it was used in Brehms Tierleben (1865). Brehm himself might have been influenced by the entry de Elen (1859) in the Deutsches Wörterbuch, where Brothers Grimm Grimm spoke disparagingly of this supposedly non-Germanic word.
