Central Franconian
Etymology
From Middle High German kriuze, from Old High German krūzi, from Latin crux. The -x has nothing in particular to do with the Latin form, but is due to Ripuarian velarisation. Kröx or *Krüx would be expected also in central Ripuarian (cf. Colognian Düx), but has somehow failed to establish itself in these dialects.
Pronunciation
Noun
Kröx n (plural Kröxer, diminutive Kröxje)
- (eastern Ripuarian) cross
