Aach (toponymy)
''Aach'' (variants ''Ach'', ''Ache''; ''Aa'') is a widespread Upper German hydronym, from an Old High German ''aha'' (Proto-Germanic '' *ahwō'') "running water" (ultimately from PIE '' *hakʷā-'' "(moving) water"). The word has also been reduced to a frequent suffix ''-ach'' in Alemannic and Austro-Bavarian toponymy. The word is cognate with Old English '' ǣ'' (reflected in English placenames as ''-ea'', also Yeo, Eau), Old Frisian ''ē'', Old Saxon ''aha'', Low Franconian '' Aa'', Old Norse ''á'', Gothic ''aƕa'', all meaning "river; running water". The Old High German contraction from ''-aha'' to ''-aa'', ''-â'' in compound hydronyms present from an early time (early 9th century). The simplex noun ''aha'' remained uncontracted, however, and Old High German ''-aha'' (Modern German ''-ach'') could be restituted in compounds at any time.''super fluuiolo Geazaha'' a. 782; ''inter Uuiseraa et Fuldaa'' a. 813; ''in pago Uuestracha'' a. 839.
