hmm, tough one :-)
this word exists only in colloquial language,
it is (at least a little bit) onomatopoeic and
describes a sound. i don't know if there is an
equivalent in english language...?
'pluckernd' might sound like a slightly bubbling
cooking liquid in a big receptacle but it doesn't
sound muffled, it's a more clear sound...
'pluckernd' will more likely create a soundscape
or something that "bubbles" steadily, rather than
a distinctive rhythm.
... does that make sense?
note: this is my personal imagination of 'pluckernd'
music. other german native speakers *might* want to
argue about the exact description of 'pluckernd' ;-)
