Hai aan al die Laaglanders,

Ek het 'n vraag vir al julle Afrikaanse taalkundiges. Op die web-site
http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/za-wars.html is die kop van die
artikel -
"Boere war flags in South Africa". Die kop is geskrywe in Engels ek dink
in
Engels moet dit wees "Boer war flags". Ek het voorgestel om dit te
verander
in "Flags (as) used by the Boers in the Boer Wars" Omdat "Boer war
flags" ook
kan beteken al die vlae wat in die Boere-oorloe is gebruik, ook deur die
vyand. Hoe sal julle die kop van die artikel aanpas om die verskil aan
te wys
dat dit enkel gaan oor die vlae wat deur die Boere gebruik is in die
Boere-oorloe (Vryheids-oorloe of Engelse-oorloe).

Wat is in Afrikaans die juiste meervoud van Boer - is dit Boere of is
dit
Boers?
'n Mens sê: ek is 'n Boer - ons is Boere. Maar jy hoor ook die verwysing:
ons
Boers.
Of is Boers net die meervoud van Boer in Engels?

Groetnis, André van de Loo
