Knuck

Knuck und Knucks, zwey in den gemeinen Sprecharten übliche Wörter, eine Art eines Schalles auszudrucken, welcher mit knack und knacks verwandt, aber die gröbste Art dieses Schalles ist, so wie knick und knicks die feinste Art ausdruckt. Nieders. Knuk, Gnuk, Engl. Knock. Daher das Angels. cnocian, cnucian, Engl. to knock, auf eine Art schlagen, daß dieser Schall daraus entstehe, womit das in den gemeinen Mundarten übliche knöchen, schlagen, stoßen, quälen, verwandt ist.
