Etymology

Etymology
From Old High German wohha, alteration of earlier wehha, from Proto-West Germanic *wikā, from Proto-Germanic *wikǭ. The underlying vocalism, however, in Luxembourgish as well as in most of Moselle Franconian and many other south-western German dialects is Old High German *wuhha (whether this is indeed an old variant or a later development). Compare German Woche, Dutch week, English week.
