ooster-

== Dutch == === Etymology === From Middle Dutch ooster, an adjective. In Middle Dutch, the word was still used on its own; by Modern Dutch times, the word has turned into a prefix not encountered as an adjective proper outside compounds. Nonetheless, spellings where ooster was separated from the second element of the compound persisted for some centuries in Modern Dutch. === Pronunciation === === Prefix === ooster- eastern Coordinate terms: wester-, noorder-, zuider- ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ====
