Leyve Jonny,

Ik dou dat wourd wul kennen un bruken. "Wourd"? Nee! "Woyrd'": _so draad' (as)_

"Draad'" (~ "dra" [drQ:.(d)] < drade), as ook Nedderlandsch _dra_ (< _drade_)
beduydt "(sehr) bald" up Duytsch.

'Neem dat vun af-kamen dayt, dat weet ik ook nich.

I do know and use the word. "Word"? No! "Words":  _so draad' (as)_ 'as soon as'

_Draad'_ (~ _dra_ [drQ:.(d)] < drade), like Dutch _dra_ (< _drade_) means 'soon'.

I have no idea about the origin.

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
