Subject: LL-L"Etymology"

Dear Lowlanders, Ron,

could be I'm on a wear-out tread/path, but I'm still interested in a
discussion about diminuatives.

I made some thoughts about them, and I couldn't find anything here, neither
in LS nor in English.

LS:'lütt Deern', E:'little girl' becomes G:'Mädchen', 'Fräulein' (forbidden
nowaday's)- I cannot remind any parallels in LS or English.

But they are very present in Dutch, in EFLS (East Frisian Low Saxon), an in
the far Eastern varieties (Ostpreussen/East-Prussian)) of LS-relatives. And
in Standard German, of course.

Obviously (and that's my question and interest) it's a clear matter of
Frankish influences??

Greutens/Regards

Johannes "Jonny" Meibohm
