Hoden

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German hōde, from Old High German hōdo, from Proto-West Germanic *huþō. The vowel of the Old High German is usually reconstrued as long, but some modern dialects require original shortness, as does apparently Old Frisian hothan, the only Germanic cognate. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“cover”) and then cognate with Welsh cwd (“scrotum”), Ancient Greek σκῦτος (skûtos, “hide, leather”), Latin cutis (“skin”), Old Lithuanian kutỹs (“bag”), German Haut, Scheune, Schote etc. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhoːdən/, [-dən], [-dn̩] Rhymes: -oːdn̩ === Noun === Hoden m (strong, genitive Hodens, plural Hoden) (anatomy) testicle Synonyms: Hode, Ei; (plural) Klöten; (obsolete) Niere; Testikel ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== Hodenkrebs Hodenlymphom Hodenquetschung Hodensack === Further reading === “Hoden” in Duden online “Hoden” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache
