Etymology
de gem-pro
de brook :inh gmh:bach<ety:inh<goh:bah<ety:inh<gmw-pro:*baki<id:brook>>>>>
From de gmh bach m f, from de goh bah, from de gmw-pro *baki. Cognate with nl beek, en beach and en beck.
The gmh - gender was chiefly masculine in Upper German, chiefly feminine in Central German. This is one of the rarer cases in which northern gender usage did not establish itself; perhaps because the masculine agrees with the semantically related de Fluss and de Strom.

Etymology
pdt gem-pro
The plural is inherited from pdt gml bēke, from pdt osx beki, from pdt gmw-pro *baki brook. Cognate with nl beek, de Bach, en beach, sv bäck.
The singular may be inherited from the gml - variant gml bach if this form had /x/, it then being a borrowing from pdt gmh bach. If, however, gml bach were a spelling for gml *bak, inherited from a hypothetical osx *bak, the Plautdietsch form must be a borrowing from Modern pdt de Bach.
