Re achter, after

In East Brabant the word achternoen "afternoon" is still used these days,
though the r is left out and in the mind of the speakers the word is
preceded by an n. Thus: /nachtenoen/, as it is usually preceded by the
definite article 'den'.
There is also the expression "na de noen", pron. noë de noen.

Kind regards,
