And Roger, ne man, een vraa, e kind with 3 different articles for each
gender exists in every Brabantish dialect, although feminine and neuter are
starting to fall together into 'een' with most younger people.
This three-way declension of articles usualyl also exists in Brabant for
adjectives in long vowel or diphthong + n,
ne kleine man, een klein vrou, e klei kind, ne schoënen otto, een schoën
vrou, e schoë vogelke/tje. Also here the neuter forms seem to add the +n of
the stem and feminine form again in younger dialect.
