hunebed

== Dutch == === Alternative forms === huinebed (obsolete) hunnebed === Etymology === From huin (“giant”) +‎ bed (“bed”), roughly meaning "a bed (of stones) built by giants". Cognate to and probably formed after German Hünenbett (“dolmen”), which may have caused the Dutch -ui- to be replaced by -u- - although this may also be due to Low German influence. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɦynəbɛt/, /ˈɦʏnəbɛt/ === Noun === hunebed n (plural hunebedden, no diminutive) (archaeology) dolmen
