> _Rucksack_ is a Swiss Alemannic loanword in German, from _Ruggsack_
> (which would be *_Rückensack_ if it were Standard German, *_Rüggsack_ or
> *_Rüchsack_ if it were Lowlands Saxon).  Alemannic varieties, especially
> those of the south (mostly Switzerland, some in far southwestern German
> and in farwestern Austria) did not umlaut as much, and _Rugge_ or _Rugg_
> are the words for 'back'.
