This *-xU was indeed an extremely productive ending of hypocoristically truncated names if the hypocoristic root ended in a vowel (further Polish examples: Ja-ch < Jan, Do-ch < Dobiemir, Przy-ch < Przybysl/aw, etc.). It also occurs in palatalised form in such diminutive suffixes as -isz, -osz (e.g. Mirosz < Mirosl/aw, Bronisz < Bronisl/aw, Gniewosz < Gniewomir; *-ja and *jI also occurred as diminutive suffixes).

"Man findet ein solches -ch- auch in zahlreichen familiären Bildungen
und in Hyperkoristika als Ersatz regelmässiger Endungen: c^. brach
"Bruder, Kamerad" zu bratr, ar. ljachU "Pole" < *le,chU zu
*le,de^ninU, p. c^. Stach zu Stanislav, Mach zu Matve^j, Pech zu Petr,
Vach zu Václav u.a."
