"bovve" meaning in All languages combined

See bovve on Wiktionary

Adverb [Central Franconian]

IPA: /ˈbɔvə/, /ˈbovə/ (note: less often)
Etymology: From Middle High German boven, northern variant of boben. Compare Dutch boven, Westphalian Low German buowen. For “up” and “down”, Ripuarian has forms with and without b- alongside (bovve/ovve; bonge/onge); Moselle Franconian has only those without. For “inside” and “outside”, b- alternates with dr- in both dialect groups (e.g. benne/drenne; busse/drusse). Contemporary Kölsch for some reason prefers bovve, but unge, and drenne, drusse.
