köken: Inherited from Middle French houblon, houbelon (15th c.), from a confluence of two words: * Middle French hoppe, houppe (“hopped beer”, 14th c.), from Middle Dutch hoppe (“hops”), from Old Dutch *hoppo, from Frankish *hoppō (“hops”), of uncertain further origin. See English hop for more. * Old French homlon (“hops”, 11th c.), from Proto-West Germanic *humilō (“hops”), also of uncertain origin,…
köken: Just like its Latin (Upupa) and English names (hoopoe), the Swedish name originates from the sound of the bird, interpreted as "Upp! Upp! Upp! Ut! Ut!" (up, up, up, out, out), a sign of bad times of war and starvation. This gave the bird the name of oäringsfågel already in Medieval times, which later has turned into härfågel. Oäring being the negation (o-) of äring, a good year's harvest.
köken: Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic хмель (xmelĭ), from Proto-Slavic *xъmelь. Compare Bulgarian хмел (hmel), Serbo-Croatian хме̏љ, Russian хмель (xmelʹ), Polish chmiel.
köken: Borrowed from a Chuvash-type Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries). Compare Tatar колмак (qolmaq), Bashkir ҡомалаҡ (qomalaq) and Chuvash хӑмла (hămla). From Proto-Turkic *kumlak.
aile: komlói
