Luxembourgish
Etymology
From Middle High German iuch, from Old High German iuwih. The expected Luxembourgish form would be *äich. The form iech probably goes back to Middle High German *öch as in some neighbouring dialects of Central Franconian. This may be due to shortening at the time when -iu- had been diphthongized, thus: [yːç] > [øʏ̯ç] > [øç], and then new diphthongization (sporadically before voiceless fricatives as in briechen, iessen).
