Ferke

Etymology
Cognate with 🇨🇬. This is generally regarded an original diminutive, in which case we expect Central Franconian. However, if the word had been contracted early on, the cluster -rk- would have remained unshifted. Compare 🇨🇬, whose -k- has been considered secondary and irregular, but might be due to the same reason. Alternatively, the Ripuarian form could be an unshifted relict (compare, etc.).
