jukhan

From Middle High German jucken in the sense at hand in Alemannic German jucke (“to jump”), Ripuarian jöcke (“to rush, scurry”). The meaning can have developed as “jump” > “throw” > “beat”. Compare Ripuarian op de Ääd jöcke (“to smash on the ground”), si Jeld verjöcke (“to smash, i.e. squander, one’s money”), Lower Rhenish verjöcke (“to beat up”).

Whether the above verb is the same as jucken (“to itch”), from Proto-West Germanic *jukkjan, is a debated question, but the two do seem to have identical forms in most dialects. Compare also Gothic 𐌾𐌹𐌿𐌺𐌰𐌽 (jiukan).
