Hi <span style="color: rgb(0, 104, 28);">Diederik,<br>
<br>
I'm glad to be able to supply you with some information on the words used in Eastern
Brabantish (Getelands) for "itch". In all of the Getelands dialects
they say <i>uksel, </i>verb <i>ukselen. </i>These forms can be traced back to
Middle Dutch <i>jucken (next to </i>jocken, jeuken), (Old High German <i>jucchen</i>,
Anglo-Saxon <i>gycce, gycc(e)an. </i>The <i>j</i> was omitted. As you can see
the initial consonant was equally dropped in English. Note that in all of the
Getelands region (with the exception of Tiens and Hoegaardens, as far as I
know) the <i>h </i>is retained. Futher West in Brabant,
the <i>h</i> is generally dropped. I think we should see the development for <i>uksel
</i>as follows. The vowel u (sounding like in <i>mus, rups</i>) is clearly the
product of umlaut.<br>
<br>
Best regards, </span></span></p>
