Etymology

1. From Middle High German bach m or f, from Old High German bah, from Proto-West Germanic *baki. Cognate with Dutch beek, English beach and beck.
2. The Middle High German gender was chiefly masculine in Upper German, chiefly feminine in Central German. This is one of the rarer cases in which northern gender usage did not establish itself; perhaps because the masculine agrees with the semantically related Fluss and Strom. See: Dutch Nouns 'beek', English Nouns 'beach'.
