Central Franconian[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
From Middle High German müede, from Old High German muodi, from Proto-West Germanic *mōþī, from Proto-Germanic *mōþaz. The form shows d-loss and a palatal linking sound, which was then hardened to -ch in the syllable coda; compare Limburgish meug and also Afrikaans moeg.
Pronunciation[edit]
Adjective[edit]
mööch (masculine möje, feminine mööch, comparative möjer, superlative et mööchste)
Alternative forms[edit]
- mäu
- meug, mui (Dutch-based spellings, Kirchräödsj etc.)
- möd (most of Ripuarian)
- mee, med, mied (Moselle Franconian)

- 1936, “Heimweh nach Köln”[1]performed by Willi Ostermann:

I would like to turn homewards right away!
I would like to walk back to Cologne on foot!
