Re Jonny's film script: Jonny it is brilliant, full of Lowland humor and
pratfalls. You should really try and sell it to Hollywood and of course it
should be spoken in Low Saxon. Thanks again for the belly laugh. Jacqueline

Zwolle Netherlands,

Hi,
LoL, I m  not going to respond to the discussion about the word dwalen I
think..hehe

Wim Verdoold.

( van der dole = dole a place to hide  back in the fields, for the ones
guarding the harvest against wild life I m told, hence dolen as being far
from home?  So a dole is a dwelling place alright, a hut against the rain..)

 Haai, Elsie

Subject: LL-L "Etymology

"Om in 'n dwaal te wees"

Ja, Elsie, soos ek skryf het hierdie woord selfs in wesenlike gebruik (ieder
as die figuratief) tot in Wes Australië uitversprei. Daar het my doopvader
die uitdrukking in die laat vyftigerjare teëgekom, sommer dekades voor die
Wêreldwye uitwyking van ons volkie, "We're dwaaling around, y'know, only *we
* say 'walkabout'.

Die Uwe,
Mark
