Reuben, not to question your judgment, but wouldn't "rechte" in Plautdietsch
tend to mean "raise" or "lift up" than "right" in the sense of "correct?"
In other words, might not "Räajle un Raichtlienjes" be better, although the
latter is clearly a "created" word.  Eldo Neufeld

Maybe its a bit too abstract especially if you know nothing about farming.
