Latin in your salutation, hey?)

Not entirely sure what you meant here, but the word 'noste' definately
hasn't got anything to do with Latin...

noste/nöste etc. = English 'next', Dutch naast (which now only means "next
to","besides"), also used in older Antwerp dialect and in most of southern
Dutch. Dutch "volgend" has nowadays taken over, tho.

Greetings, Diederik
