>>>>> oh, I thought to have expressed my doubts about the North Wind and the

so, to be clear: I vote for de Tuunkrüper.
As I said before: in my opinion it would be strange if the Anniversary story
for the Lowlands list is anything but Lower Saxon.
I don't know if this is just because I'm having heavy fevers the last couple
of days which may have cooked my brain a bit ... (Ingmar)

"Only" for Danish and Western Jutish, not any for Lowlands varieties.

Fine.  So noted.  But, to be fair, we also cover all the Low Franconian
varieties (Dutch, Brabantish, Flemish, Limburgish, Afrikaans, etc.),
Frisian, English and Scots, not only Saxon.

Cheers!
