Etymology

From Old High German pluog, plōh, northern variants of phluog, from Proto-Germanic *plōgaz. Cognate with German Pflug, Dutch ploeg, English plough, Icelandic plógur. The form Plou continues the original dative singular, reinforced by the plural and the derived verb plouen (“to plough”). The expected nominative/accusative form Pluch is attested dialectally.
