Spankeren

== Dutch == === Etymology === Potentially attested as early as 1179 as spankeren, attested with certainty as spankeren in 1307. Etymology unclear. Perhaps a compound derived from Middle Dutch spang (“elongated strip of land”) and Old Dutch heri (“sandy ridge”). An alternative etymology interprets the first component as a hydronym of unclear origins. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈspɑŋ.kə.rə(n)/ Hyphenation: Span‧ke‧ren === Proper noun === Spankeren n a village in Rheden, Gelderland, Netherlands ==== Derived terms ==== Spankerenaar Spankers van Spankeren === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN
