Esche

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German esche f, asch m, from Old High German asca f, asc m, from Proto-West Germanic *ask. The umlaut can be explained here from the plural of the masculine noun, though it may also be due to the secondary umlaut triggered by following -sch- which is found throughout western dialects of High German (compare Äsche, where this is probably the cause of the umlaut). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɛʃə/ Homophone: Äsche Rhymes: -ɛʃə === Noun === Esche f (genitive Esche, plural Eschen) ash (tree) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== eschen === Proper noun === Esche n (proper noun, genitive Esches or (optionally with an article) Esche) Eš (a village in the Czech Republic) === Further reading === “Esche” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Esche” in Duden online
