EtymologyEdit
From Middle High German iuch, from Old High German iuwih. The expected Luxeburgish form would be *äich. The form iech goes back to Middle High German *öch or *ech, as in some neighbouring dialects of Central Franconian. It is probably due to shortening after -iu- had been diphthongized; thus: [yːç] > [øʏ̯ç] > [øç] > [eç] > [ɪə̯ç].
PronunciationEdit
