Subject: Mooi

mOI? (møj) or mÖI? in Jutish means 'much/a lot of' which is probably
related to Norwegian mye and Icelandic mjög instead of related to
Danish/Norwegian 'meget'.

Can that have any relation to mooi ?

I assume that moi/moin is related to mooi (mooie morgen, mooie avend,
enz) which is used in Groningen, and most of Northern Germany and also
South Jutland.

I read somewhere that the moi'n subtraction comes from East
Frisia...but I don't know if that is true or not.

There is also Danish mø (untouched women, often consideres very
beautiful) which is related to English maid, German magd.

Anyway, just some ideas

Kenneth

In Twente we call a telephone a "köyerdraod" sometimes, whereas a radio
is a "köyerkaestje".

Thanks, Henry.

I noticed the word _draod_ for 'wire' in _köyerdraod_.  In North Saxon of
Germany we can also use _draad_ (<Draht> ~ <Droht> [drQ:t]) for 'wire', the
alternative being _wyr_ or _wyer_ (<Wier> [vi:3`]) which must be related to
English "wire."  Do you have this word also?  Does anyone else in their
variety?

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
