That's true, you certainly can't call it Limburgish. But somehow his
speech has a certain 'ring' to it, which sounds Limburgish (as for a few
characteristics of the dialects of Southern Gelderland as well, I might
add). And: the Limburgish word for 'scar' is also 'Lienteike', just like
in Mölmsch...
