{{C|en|Landforms|Wetlands}}

==Afrikaans==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|af|nl|moorden}}, from {{inh|af|dum|morden}}, from {{inh|af|gem-pro|*murþijaną}}. The lacking ''-d'' can be explained either phonetically or morphologically. The first would mean reduction of originally intervocalic ''rd'' (as in {{m|af|pêre}}, informal plural of {{m|af|perd}}). The second would mean backformation at a time when various verb forms of the present and past took the prefixes ''-t, -d, -de'' (now still in {{m|af||die vermoorde|t=the murder victim}}).
