Definitions[edit]

I changed the definitions for this word from Verbo's version. I simply can't source any examples for his third definition. I combined his second and fourth definitions as they are very similar in meaning.

The word 'gul' is usually used with a positive undertone to refer to the warm and generous nature of the speaker. Of course I can be wrong as I am not a native Dutch speaker. Jamesjiao 07:32, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Etymology 1[edit]

What about Danish huld ? and viceversa? For pronunciation <<https://ordnet.dk/ddo_en/dict?select=huld,1&query=huld/>> Danish IPA(key): /ˈhulˀ/ <> Dutch IPA(key): /ɣʏl/ From Old Norse hollr. Cognates include Gothic 𐌷𐌿𐌻𐌸𐍃 (hulþs, “clement”) and Old High German hold ( > German hold). More at hold. Flāvidus (talk) 23:45, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
