Schull

See also: schull

Central Franconian

Alternative forms
  • Schol (southernmost Moselle Franconian)

Etymology

The expected outcome of Old High German scuola would be šūl in southern Moselle Franconian, and šōl in northern Moselle Franconian and Ripuarian. The actual vocalism, namely šōl in the very south, šul elsewhere, implies an Old High German form *scōla through (re-)adaptation to Latin schola. This would also explain Luxembourgish Schoul (see there).

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ʃul/

Noun

Schull f (plural Schulle)

  1. (most dialects) school
