> Dear Lowlander,
>    The below sentence appears in "An Introduction to Middle Dutch" by
Collette van Kerckvoorde. It appears in Chapter 20.2, The Oldest Dutch
Sentence. The author writes here; "Since written documentation of the oldest
stages in the history of the Dutch language is so scarce, Kenneth Sisam's
discovery of an Old Dutch sentence in 1931 was of great significance."

>    Last year I was studying the "Old English and its Closest Relatives",
by Orrin Robinson. In this book, the other Germanic languages were
considered in their earliest attested forms, including Dutch. I collected
grammars for all of the older Germanic language forms, but could not obtain
an Old Dutch one. The earliest stage of Dutch, that I could obtain, was the
Van Kerckvoorde book. This book covered case, number and gender information
of Middle Dutch which was of particular information to me.
>    I can't speak about any vowel shift from uo to oe in Dutch.
>    You can see that English good becomes Dutch goed, hook becomes hoek,
stool becomes stoel, etc. This is a regular sound relationship between
English and Dutch.
>    I am sorry that I didn't respond on the blogsite, but for some reason,
I can not use the application that appears for response.
>    Yours truly,
> Tom Crane +
