vuurhoutjie

Etymology
Compound of. Some Dutch dictionaries from around 1900 mention 🇨🇬, although there are few attestations from this period that don't clearly relate to southern Africa. The word was therefore likely formed in Afrikaans.

Noun

Usage notes
When vuurhoutjie is the first, or at least non-final, element of a compound, the form is usually vuurhout.
