biichten in Luxembourgish

IPA: /ˈbiːχten/, [ˈbiːɕtən] [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Rhymes: -iːɕtən Etymology: From Buucht (“withstanding, resistance”, originally “body tension, body posture”), referring here to the tense posture during the aiming. This word Buucht is probably identical with German Bucht (borrowed), Dutch bocht, English bight, from Proto-Germanic *buhtiz, here meaning “posture, position” in terms of a bending of the body, a sense which is also attested in Dutch. The fact that *buhtiz is otherwise not native in High German does not necessarily refute this etymology since Luxembourg and the western Rhineland are a Frankish relict zone.
