Eck en Wiel

== Dutch == === Etymology === Eck is first attested as in eki in 953. Wiel is first attested as wiele in 1347. Eck is derived from either a term cognate to Old Norse ekja (“dirt track, rut left by a wagon”) or from Proto-Germanic *agjô- (“pointed, tapered”). A proposed derivation from eik (“oak, Quercus”) is impossible. Wiel is derived from wiel (“kolk lake”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛk ɛn ˈʋil/ Hyphenation: Eck en Wiel Rhymes: -il === Proper noun === Eck en Wiel n a village in Buren, Gelderland, Netherlands === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
