Hallo agin,

  I finally found a dialect that had something to do with Old German
buoch > buch. There's a Scandinavian language named Elfdalian.
Old long o, u, i, y, ø became diphthongized in Elfdalian into uo, au...

(3) bok > buok 'book' But Old German uo becomes u
(4) hus > aus 'house' see German ou English
(5) knifr > knaiv 'knife'

  Ívison.
