Woch
Central Franconian
Alternative forms
- Wech, Wääch (Ripuarian; now widely obsolete)
Etymology
From Old High German wohha, alteration of earlier wehha, from Proto-Germanic *wikǭ. The Moselle Franconian form is actually based on *wuhha (compare the Luxembourgish entry below), whereas the Ripuarian form is a relatively recent borrowing form standard German Woche. Compare German Woche, Dutch week, English week.

Derived terms
Luxembourgish
Etymology
From Old High German wohha, alteration of earlier wehha, from Proto-Germanic *wikǭ. The underlying vocalism, however, in Luxembourgish as well as in most of Moselle Franconian and many other south-western German dialects is Old High German *wuhha (whether this is indeed an old variant or a later development). Compare German Woche, Dutch week, English week.
