Ah, so gadegij vs gader, guess i get it now. And to answer one of your
earlier posts, also here family member words have neuter articles, or
feminine (not sure, cfr. the discussion about merger of neuter and feminine
in younger Antwerpian), een bruur, e vader/een vader? Ou vader, ou bruur, me
vader (m'n vader?), m'n bruur, *never *ne vader, ouwen bruur, m'ne vader.
This is true for all Brabant varieties, not sure how they behave in the rest
of southern Dutch. In Antwerp, with plural possessive pronoun, 'bruur' can
have both, tho: hunnen bruur/hun bruur, onz(en) bruur.
But somehow never onze vader, hunne vader (?)
