Hinkelstein

Etymology
Originally a dialect word denoting a number of menhirs in Hesse. Generalised and standardised in the 19th century. The form is analysable as 🇰🇲. Likely from of an underlying, from 🇨🇬; compare modern. This would first have been corrupted to, and then further to the contemporary form because the word was replaced in these dialects with  (an original diminutive).

Noun
