Pocke

== German == === Etymology === 16th century, from Middle Low German pocke, from Proto-Germanic *puhô. Cognate with Dutch pok, English pock. Displaced the variants Poche, Pfoche, which may go back to related Proto-Germanic *puhô, but are perhaps merely inadequate adaptations of the Low German form. The native High German word for “pock” is Blatter. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈpɔkə/ Hyphenation: Po‧cke === Noun === Pocke f (genitive Pocke, plural Pocken) pock (in the plural, pathology) pox, smallpox (disease) ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== (pock): Blatter (disease): Blattern ==== Hyponyms ==== (disease): Affenpocken Katzenpocken Kuhpocken Schafpocken Windpocken Ziegenpocken ==== Derived terms ==== pockennarbig === Further reading === “Pocke” in Duden online “Pocke”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) James A.
