En dat stiet veur een old en vervallen huus.

Dear Ron and others,

In discussing the Low Saxon word 'winsch' you seem to have touched upon
the plautdietsch adjective 'winksch.' which carries about the same meaning.
In Plautdietsch the word 'winksch' (adjective), describes an object as being
out-of shape or off-square, hindering its fit where it should fit. I am not
familiar with
the usage of 'winksch' as an adverb, but I could readily accommodate that
usage.

In Westerlauwer Frisian we have a word with a very similar meaning: "wynsk"
(from what in Old Frisian we would reconstruct
as "wi:nsk"), different from "winsk" (a noun), which is Old Frisian
"winsk(a)", Dutch "wens" (older spelling "wensch" to show the
etymology a bit better..) = "wish", German Wunsch. "Wynsk" also means
crooked, out of shape.

groetnis,

Henno

Marlou,

Du schreyvst:

> Wiss is: Wenn een in HD seggt "Ich drücke es nieder" orr "Es fällt
nieder", denn is dat in PD *hendal*. Orr doch nich?

Absolut korrekt! Faoken seggt wi ouk man kott: *'daol'.*

Allerbest!

Jonny Meibohm


Ferlykje ek WF "del" yn "it falt del", "ik triuw it del".

Dit moat út (lykas "daol") Aldgermaansk "dala" (mei a yn iepen wurdlid)
ûntstien wêze.
De "hen-" derfoar is in soarte fan rjochtingjaand partikel, soe'k sizze.

Henno
