> Dear listmembers,
>
> I have got a question concerning the 'Den' in _Den_
> Haag en _Den_ Bosch. It
> is not about the other (offical) names, but really
> about the form of the
> article as such.
>
> As far as I can see, the usage of 'de/den' follows
> the same pattern as in
> the Brabantian dialects, more specifically the usage
> of 'den' before male
> nouns starting with a vowel, a labial and dental
> stop: den otto (and hence
> den (h)amer, den boom, den tand, etc.).
>
> Now, my question is: can 'den' in Den Haag en Den
> Bosch be compared with the
> Brabantian forms of the article, or is 'den' here an
> inflected form of the
> article, and hence not similar to the Brabantian
> forms.
