Elburg

== English == === Proper noun === Elburg A city in Gelderland, Netherlands. A municipality of Gelderland, Netherlands. === Anagrams === Bugler, Bulger, Gubler, bugler, bulger, burgle == Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as elburg in 1225. Etymology uncertain. Several interpretations of El- have been proposed, ranging from a personal name to a reference to the city being located on an elevated section of land to a derivation from a term related to elleboog (“elbow”) (impossible because of the presence of -n- in older forms of the word, see Middle Dutch elne (“elbow”)). A derivation from Middle Dutch *helberg (“hill among low-lying terrain”) is also unlikely. The use of ter elborch implies that the second element is Middle Dutch borch (“castle, fortified settlement”). See also Elspeet. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛl.bʏrx/ Hyphenation: El‧burg === Proper noun === Elburg n Elburg (a city and municipality of Gelderland, Netherlands) Meronyms: Aperloo, Doornspijk, Hoge Enk, Lage Bijssel, Nieuwstad, Oostendorp, 't Harde, Wessinge ==== Derived terms ==== Elburgenaar Elburger Elburgs === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), “Elburg”, in Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard‎[1] (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
