Central Franconian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unshifted relict from Proto-Germanic *kīkaną; compare Aap, deep, söke. Whether the shortening of the vowel is regular is difficult to decide because -īk- does not otherwise occur in High German. However, it seems likely as the same shortening happens before other velars; compare schwijje, rich, from Middle High German swīgen, rīche.
Pronunciation[edit]
Verb[edit]
