Also from me another unflattering review of flattery:

Northern Low Saxon:

'to flatter':
glad snakken <glatt snacken> ("to talk smoot(ly)")
vründjern <fründjern> (< vründ 'friend')
na de snuut snakken <na de Snuut snacken> ("to talk
   toward/after the mouth")
na 't muul snakken <na't Muul snacken> ("to talk
   toward/after the mouth")
honnig üm 't muul smeyren <Honnig üm't Muul
   smeern> ("to smear honey around the mouth")
üm d'n baard gaan <üm'n Baart gahn> ("to go
   (a)round the beard")

'flattering(ly)':
gladsnutig <glattsnutig> ("smooth-mouthed")
glaysnutig <gleisnutig> ("smooth-mouthed")
gladmulig <glattsnutig> ("smooth-mouthed")
glaymulig <gleisnutig> ("smooth-mouthed")
glyr(ig) <glier(ig)>  ("slippery")
glau ("smooth," "shiny," "slippery")
glyr un glad <glier un glatt>
glyr un glay <glier un glei>
glyr un glau <glier un glau>
slyrig <slierig> ("slimy," "slippery")

'flatterer', 'suck-up', 'kiss-up':
snutensnakker <Snutensnacker> ("mouth-talker")*
gladsnakker <Glattsnacker> ("smooth-talker")*
glaysnakker <Gleisnacker> ("smooth-talker")*
ja-brouder <Ja-Broder> ("yes-brother")
ja-süster <Ja-Süster> ("yes-sister")
ley-voyger <Leeföger> ("lee-yielder")*
ogendeyner <Ogendehner> ("eye-servant")*
((j)ümmer) mit de voervoyt üm d'n hals vallen
   <((j)ümmer) mit de Vœrfööt üm'n Hals fallen
   ("to (always) hug with one's front paws ")

[* = can take _-sch_ for feminine derivations]

'flattery':
snutensnakkerey <Snutensnackeree> ("mouth-talker-y")*
gladsnakkerey <Glattsnackeree> ("smooth-talker-y")*
glaysnakkerey <Gleisnackeree> ("smooth-talker-y")*

N.B.: _Muul_ [mu:l] and _snuut_ [snu:t] originally denoted animal mouths, as 
opposed to noe rarely used _mund_ [mUnt] for humans.

Reinhard/Ron
