Dear Lowlanders,

at pgdp.net we are digitizing the "Mittelniederdeutsches Handwörterbuch" by
Lübben. The scans have been processed by OCR and now the text needs to be
compared to the images. There are about 600 pages to be processed. Any help
is welcome.

The link is

The dictionary contains about 600 pages each with about 60 entries. That is
36.000 words. That is much more than in the modern Low Saxon dictionaries,
e.g. the "Sass" has about 10.000. Isn't it funny how many words these people
had in their Low Saxon in those times?

Greetings from Hamburg,

Heiko
