Here's the Scots equivalents (I'm depending partly on Ron's
English translations for this).

thegither

bools

> (Z) impersant: (F) en passant (D) tegelijkertijd, terwijl

the time

eg: "You polish the table the time we're washin the dishes."

However, the phrase "in the bygaun" may be closer to the meaning of the
French "en passant".

glaur: very wet mud

"... ower the ruif o the hoose ..."?

The Zeelandic version has "over the roof of the house."
