The following tool is based on the corpus data first gathered for my doctoral dissertation on Luxembourgish toponyms (Mersch 2021), parts of which were published in Mersch (2023). The data website and possible further updates may be found here.
The underlying data can be found here and the algorithms that used it here.
This mini website uses JavaScript to read the corpus data as a CSV-file (corpus.csv). The code is embedded into this HTML-file if you want to use it for your own projects. The corpus data has been curated into a document dictionary with automated continuative variation names that also can be found in the corpus can be freely accessed here.
A List of my publications and my resumé can be found here.

The asterisk (*) can be used as a wild card to search for any consonant or vowel. The asterisk can stand for one or more signs. If you want to look up lexemes as in parts of names, use the asterisk in front or behind the lexeme.
The asterisk (*) wild card works for all categories.
