“Gluck’’ can either mean ‘’happiness’’ or ‘’luck’’ in German.

So what’s that other word, “glockl”? I’ve never seen it before, and it’s not in my German dictionary.

Does the umlaut change the meaning?

I knew "gluck" meant "luck". I didn't know it meant "happiness", but this word has an umlaut on it, and so I wasn't sure if it was "gluck".
