The final -e is secondary, possibly due to confusion between the earlier strong plural Fürche and the later weak plural Furchen (also Fürchen). The -ch- is Upper German; the Central German form Fure, Fuhre did not establish itself because of its homophony with Fuhre (“cartload”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfʊʁçə/ === Noun === Furche f (genitive Furche, plural Furchen) furrow crease ==== Declension ==== ==== Hyponyms ==== ==== Related terms ==== furchen === Further reading === “Furche” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Furche” in Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm, 16 vols., Leipzig 1854–1961. “Furche” in Duden online “Furche” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon
