Etymology
From, from. Normally Proto-Germanic *au before a non-alveolar consonant would be retained in Limburgish (see and ), therefore the monophthong (or centering diphthong) here would indicate outside influence from another  variant.

Noun

 * 1) leek,  (syn. )
 * 2)  garlic,
 * 3)  chive,
 * 4)  onion,

Usage notes

 * This term and the alternative form(s) / are used interchangeably (even within one dialect), this is especially noticeable in compound terms.
