bruche

• brauche, brouche (Moselle Franconian)

From Old High German brūhhan, from Proto-Germanic *brūkaną.

The past tense forms broht, brooch (both with the open vowel /ɔː/) were doubtless formed by analogy with moht, mooch, from mugge (“may”). It is not ruled out, however, that they are alterations of older strong forms.

• IPA^(key): /ˈbʀuxə/
