Beste Joachim:



Onderwerp: LL-L "Etymology"



U Vraag:

ik hewwe vandaage eyne radiosendenge üöwer "ragtime" (uut anlaat vann
gebuortsdag van  den komponisten Scott Joplin ?, 1868 gebuoren) häärt. Un ik
frauge mi, of dat engelsk waard "rag", "to rag" nich ene germanske wuordel,
vellicht auk in äinlicke bedüüdenge (hat) heft. Ik find dat waard un siin
semantisket ümfaild heyl gout.



Die woord is eintlik 'n afkorting van "ragged timing", afleidende die
ritmiese syncapasie, defenetiewe eienskap van sodanige musikale styl.



Jammer, nê, want ek stel meer belang in u etymologie!



Die Uwe,

Mark
