Aarbecht

Luxembourgish Etymology From lb goh arbeit, from lb gem-pro *arbaidiz. As to the consonantism: Most dialects of Luxembourgish regularly reduced original -cht to -t, but this development was later reverted, probably under outside influences. (The same happened in many dialects of Central Franconian.) Both southernmost and northernmost Luxembourgish often retain forms without -ch-; compare lb Nuet alongside lb Nuecht night. In those dialects where the development was reverted, hypercorrect forms with unetymological -ch- occur (compare also attested lb Jesuiicht for lb Jesuit).
