Hello!

As far as I know, the velar sounds in the middle of words
such as friggen or egger should be stops and not
fricatives in most Westphalian dialects.
In those dialects that I know a little bit about
(Münsterland and Mark), Gaaren would be pronounced with an initial
fricative (or maybe approximant).

So my next question would be, does Niblett ever
systematically use ordinary "g", too?
I am asking this to exclude the possibility that "ʒ"
is simply only a graphemic variant of "g".

Guedgaon!

P.S.: I would also ask the people at the
Deutscher Sprachatlas project http://www.uni-marburg.de/fb09/dsa/
since part of their data goes back even further to
Georg Wenker.
