This is why it would be interesting to get some more clarity about the area of these dialectical features. So far I've noticed:
* bock -> pock: devoicing /b/ to /p/ seems like the most common of the three. For example I remember Diebold Lauber (Alsace) using "Diebold" and "Diepold" interchangably. And "pock" for "bock" is not hard to find. Here is one example I found in a few minutes on google, the poetry of Oswald Von Wolkenstein (South Tyrol): You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
* Geis -> Gas: This is more difficult, but it certainly exists. All examples I can find in a quick search are 1800 or later, all from Austria. "Gas" seems to belong to a more limited area than "pock", but I don't know yet if and where they overlap.
* Milch -> Mich: we don't even know if this really exists as a dialectical form. If it doesn't, the "goatmilk" reading can only survive by assuming "mich" is either an abbreviation or a mistake.
