Kluge (24th edition) considers it a chiefly Low German word (compare Middle Low German ākeren, eckeren). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbuːxˌ(ʔ)ɛkɐ/ === Noun === Buchecker f (genitive Buchecker, plural Bucheckern) beechnut ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== (rare) Ecker (Switzerland) Buchennüsschen === Further reading === “Buchecker”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German)
