Etymology 2

From Middle DutchCategory:Dutch terms inherited from Middle Dutch#WALCategory:Dutch terms derived from Middle Dutch#WAL wal (“whale”), from Old DutchCategory:Dutch terms inherited from Old Dutch#WALCategory:Dutch terms derived from Old Dutch#WAL *wal, from Proto-West GermanicCategory:Dutch terms inherited from Proto-West Germanic#WALCategory:Dutch terms derived from Proto-West Germanic#WAL *hwal, from Proto-GermanicCategory:Dutch terms inherited from Proto-Germanic#WALCategory:Dutch terms derived from Proto-Germanic#WAL *hwalaz (“whale”). Cognate with English whale.

Possibly to avoid confusion with wal (“wall; shore”), the derived compound word walvis (“whale; lit. whale-fish”) gained currency over wal (“whale”). Similar clarifying compounds can be found elsewhere in Dutch: kraanvogel (“crane; lit. crane-bird”), muildier (“mule; lit. mule-animal”), oeros (“auroch; auroch-ox”), rendier (“rein; lit. rein-animal”), tortelduif (“turtle (bird); lit. turtle dove”) and windhond (“greyhound; lit. wind-dog”).

    Usage notes

    Wal is the most commonly used word for "wall" in Welsh. The word mur is used most often when referring to large walls such as the defensive walls of a city or Mur Mawr Tsieina "The Great Wall of China". It is also used in compound words, for example murlun, rhagfur, cellfur, briwydd y mur. Pared is an internal partition wall whereas magwyr is a literary word for an external wall, little used now but preserved in such things as place and plant names.

    Derived terms
