Subject: LL-L "Etymology" 2007.12.11 (03) [E/LS]

Ingmar wondered about:
"It boils down to the German nouns *Kunde*, Low Saxon
*K**ünn*, 'knowledge',
'notice', the adjectives *kund* ( e.g. *kund tun/geben*), Low Saxon
*k**ünnig*, 'known', 'made aware', and the verb *k**ündigen*, Low Saxon
*k**ünnigen*, 'to make known'
Reinhard answered:

Ingmar, I didn't put those there. That's the sort of stuff one sees when one
looks at "raw," unformatted versions in the archive ( i.e. doesn't click on
the toggle link at the bottom) and on top of it doesn't switch to Unicode
encoding.

I am very glad to hear that, I thought it was part of your proposed new LS
spelling and I thought, "he's really, REALLY going too far now". ;-)
