Subject: "Nomads"

Hi, Leeglanners,

this evening I had a talk with my personly "mentor" for our
L.S.-dialect. He
is about 80 years old and wasn't able to speak Upper German until his
17th
year.
He told me (look at LL-L!- there my idea came from, of course!), that
the
L.S. word for (E) "beggar", (U.G.) "Bettler" was
 "Buttje(r)".
That seems interesting, because: I did know this word, but for me it
meant
(E) some kind of "little boy" ( perhaps [U.G] "Rumtreiber"??),
specially
spoken in the area of the city of Hamburg.

Beste Greutens

Fiete.
