Taass

== Luxembourgish == === Alternative forms === Tas (superseded spelling) === Etymology === Probably inherited from Late Middle High German *tasse (attested as diminutive tesschichyn, mid-15th c.), from Middle French tasse (14th c.). The lengthening of -a- is regular in this position. While it could alternatively reflect the Modern French /ɑː/-vowel, the same lengthening is also found in some German dialects of Central Franconian, where such influence is unlikely. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [taːs] Rhymes: -aːs === Noun === Taass f (plural Tasen or Taassen, diminutive Tiesschen) cup (drinking vessel)
