Hi all,

Piet Bult, I think your 'gelle' stopper in German is a form of 'gelt?' which is
the same as saying in Afrikaans "geld dit?" or in English "Is that valid?

My children's paternal grandmother comes from Baden-Würtenberg
and uses the form quite often.

Regards,
Elsie Zinsser
>Jonny, I worked for several years im Kreis Frankfurt a/M. People around
>there use a word like _gelle_ as a 'stopwoord'. Allmost after jeder 
Phrase
>they use that word, like: "will You please give me this, gelle." "Du hast
>einen schöne Farad, gelle." Could that word has something to do with 
your
>_feller_?
