Alemannic German

	A user suggests that this Alemannic German entry be cleaned up, giving the reason: “The normal form is "Ruess". This form would have to be restricted to some particular dialect. I'm not aware of any Alemannic dialect that monophthongizes MHG uo (though I can't rule it out). Possibly borrowed from German.”
	Please see the discussion on Requests for cleanup(+) for more information and remove this template after the problem has been dealt with.
