Foar it Frysk:
Westerlauwerk: "ein" [a.in],[E.in], (Skylge "ein", Skiermuontseach "eeun",
Hylpen "eant") út "ende" of soks.
Easterlauwersk: Sealtersk is "Oante" [O:nt@], faaks út it Nederdútsk, of
eigen ûntjouwing?
"Oande" skynt ek foar te kommen (yn Roomelse/Ramsloh). Dy "d" liket dêr al
wat better...
It Wangereachske wurd haw ik sa gau net fine kind.
Noardfrysk: ånert (Mooring), an (Fering, öömrang), en (Söl'ring, Halunder),
ånt (Hoolmer Freesch), aant (Hoorninger Fräisch).

Dus alle wurden skaaie nei "ened"-foarmen. Foar safier at de tongslaggen
noch in froulik slachte ûnderskiede, binne de wurden ek froulik, wat strykt
mei de etymology as froulik wurd.

It mantsje hat wer oare foarmen: yn it Dútsk is it in "Enterich", en it
Frysk hat dy foarm ek hân: it Westerlauwerske "jerke" komt der ek fan
(*anderik > *ean(d)rik >
jerke), en it Söl'ring hat "enerk" (ek Skier hat "airk", Hylpen en skylge
"erke").
Mar sibben fan it Hollânske "woerd" fine wy ek: Sealtersk "Woode",
Fering-öömrang word/wörd, Mooring "uurder", Hoorninger "woorder", Hoolmer
"woorer", en nei alle gedachten ek "gooar" op Helgolân (?). Myn (dizze
simmer yn Rostock kochte) "Neues hochdeutsch-plattdeutsches
Wörterbuch" (für den mecklenburgisch-vorpommerschen Sprachraum) jout foar
"ein"  de
wurden ånt, ent, meartal ånen, en manlik (Dútsk Erpel?) wurde "Arpel",
"Wäding",
"Wädik" jûn. It Grinslânsk (Grunnings) hat beide "erk" (sil wol westlik
wêze) en "woord",
"woerd" foar it mantsje, en "aind" as it gewoane wurd foar "ein".
