wuel

From Middle High German wale, wole, from Old High German wala and its ablaut variant wola (the latter assimilated from older wela). Middle High German a and o in open syllables merge in Luxembourgish, so it cannot be decided which of the forms underlies (except possibly from historic written sources). Dialects to the south-east of Luxembourg have o, those to the north and north-east have a (cf. Ripuarian wall, Limburgish waal). Further cognate with German wohl, Dutch wel, English well.

     The mustard grain is indeed the smallest of all seeds, but when it is grown, it becomes greater than all the other plants in the garden - it becomes a tree, so that the birds of Heaven come and build their nests in its branches.
