Woch

• Wech, Wääch (Ripuarian; now widely obsolete)

From Old High German wohha, alteration of earlier wehha, from Proto-West Germanic *wikā, 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.
