Spoun

spoun Luxembourgish Etymology From lb gmh spān, from lb goh spān, from lb gem-pro *spēnuz. The -ou- instead of expected -o- may be due to a sporadic development in the vicinity of labials and nasals (cf. lb Mound), though in this case a backformation from the (regular) plural lb Spéin is also likely. Cognate with de Span, nl spaan, en spoon. Pronunciation lb /ʃpeu̯n/ [ʃpəʊ̯n] lb əʊn 1 Noun m Spéin shaving chip
