Huisduinen

== Dutch == === Etymology === First attested as husidina in 918-948. The toponym has been interpreted as Proto-Germanic *husid-inja- (“place of refuge, secure location”), in turn derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to hide, to occlude”) and related to Gothic 𐌷𐌿𐌶𐌳 (huzd, “treasure, hoard”), Old English hord (“hoard, treasure”) and Old Saxon hord (“hidden courtyard, treasure”). Alternative interpretations include Proto-Celtic *Kusidiniom (literally “settlement of Kusidinios”) and Proto-Germanic *hus-idh-umnjô- (“place of houses”). The toponym was later reinterpreted to a compound of huis (“house”) and the plural form of duin (“dune”). Compare Heusden, Huizinge and Opheusden. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: Huis‧dui‧nen === Proper noun === Huisduinen n a village in Den Helder, North Holland, Netherlands ==== Derived terms ==== Huisduiner === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), “Huisduinen”, in Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard‎[1] (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
