Note that the speaker switches between his own dialect -- e.g., (_diminutive
_-ing_ in *_Groutfadder_ > *_Groutfarrer_ 'grandfather' > ) _Grötting_
'grandpa', and _Großmurrer_ [half-German] 'grandmother' -- and that of _por
lüdde Mägns_ ('a few little girls'): (_Mudder_ 'mother' > _Mudding_ >
_Murring_ >) _Morräing_ 'mom(my)', and analogical extension of _-ing_ in
(_Pudding_ > _Purring_ >) _Porräing_ 'pudding'.

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
