• Abstract This article deals with the terms for 'hill, hillock' in Dutch and German. The common word in Modern Dutch (heuvel) has equivalents in Old Dutch and Old Saxon, especially in place names. The claim that it was imported into Dutch from eastern dialects is untenable. It is more likely that it originated in a Frankish dialect. In Modern German the term Bühel was generally used until it was replaced by the younger form Hügel, orginating in the Low or Middle German. It is furthermore suggested that the forms *huƀil-, *hugil- and *hukil- 'hill, hillock' are variants of one and the same word in the various dialects of Dutch and Low German.
