Hi to all, especially to Jan Strunk,

along the Dutch German border line from Friesland to Münsterland you can
find the use of the
 word" höre, öhre, har"  ( English: her or their ) in their local dialects:
 as singular - they don't use genitive form - , as well as in plural:

singular: Marie höre (öhre ) dochter   = Mary's daughter
plural: Schulte Piepenbrink öhre (höre ) blagen  =  Sch.P.'s kids

In plural they use sometimes both forms: Schulte Piepenbrinks öhre...
I suggest, the last one is influenced by High German.

Jan, thank you for your interesting contributes!

Regards
Heinrich Becker
