bestueden

== Luxembourgish == === Etymology === Derived from the noun at hand in Stad (“city; place”). Compare Middle High German bestaten (“to lead to a place; to furnish; to lend”), which is probably a loan translation of Latin locāre, and this Latin verb also means “to give a girl in marriage” (virginem in matrimonium locare). The same word, with a very different semantic development, is German bestatten (“to bury”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /beˈʃtue̯den/, [bəˈʃtuə̯dən] Rhymes: -uədən === Verb === bestueden (third-person singular present bestit, past participle bestuet, auxiliary verb hunn) (transitive) to marry (to take a spouse) (transitive) to marry (to join in matrimony)
