Hi all,

Yes, Jorge, you can say this in Afrikaans: 'Die honde blaf hulle koppe af'
although it is nonsensical.

Dear Ron,

Ourweekly English writers group (all displaced to Puerto Rico--includes a
Dutch woman, an Australian, a Sardinian and two *gringos)* was wondering if
it is possibleto say, "The dogs are barking their heads off" in Dutch?

And inother Lowlands languages?

I know thisdoesn't respond to any thread and if you don't wish to publish
this, I willunderstand.

Cheers,

JorgePotter
