There are maps in the dtv-Atlas Deutsche Sprache for both "wiederkäuen" and
"Nachmahd/Grummet".

The detailed map at page 201 shows, that there is much dialectal variety,
much much more than the overview map on page 200 can depict.

Jonny - In Old English we have quite a few words with 'ed', which seem
to be used much like Latin 're'. For example:

restitution edgift
restore, renew edniwian
restorer edniwigend
revive edcwician
restore edstalian
reestablishment edstaðelung
return edwendan
remunerate edgyldan
