There are maps in the dtv-Atlas Deutsche Sprache for both "wiederkäuen" and
"Nachmahd/Grummet".

The detailed map at page 201 shows, that there is much dialectal variety,
much much more than the overview map on page 200 can depict.

Middle Dutch also had "edericken" for "adderkauen".
Modern Dutch has "herkauwen", while West Frisian has "wjerkôgje".

Jonny - In Old English we have quite a few words with 'ed', which seem
to be used much like Latin 're'. For example:

restitution edgift
restore, renew edniwian
restorer edniwigend
revive edcwician
restore edstalian
reestablishment edstaðelung

return edwendan
remunerate edgyldan

David


In Dutch and Frisian there are some relics too: etmaal / etmiel (now a 24
hour period, but originally used to mean any recurring time), etgroen
(Dutch) for the second growing of grass (where older forms point to
ed-groed, the second is of the stem of "grow" etc, English dialects have
"edgrouth"/"edgrow" according to my Dutch etymological dictionary, WF has
"eart" of unknow origin, possibly related to ed- as well (I don't have
access to the papers discussing this). Also "ettelijk" (several), German
etlich, WF "ytlik" is also thought to have -ed as a first component.

oewer Nacht ward aderkaugt; *vom ungeschickten Raucher: *dee aderkaugt dor
up *(auf der Pfeifenspitze)*; *vom Vielsprecher: *de möt aderkaugen nachts
in 'n Bedd;*  etwas gründlich durchdenken: *still för sick satt so recht
benaut Telemach un oaderkaut' sin Gedanken;*  ferner von schlecht sitzender
Kleidung, wenn die Hose hinten zu weit ist und Falten wirft: *denn'
aderkaugt de Bücks so vör 'n Hinnelsten; *ebenso: *de aderkaugt schön
achter.*

Leiw' Lowlanners,

Wossidlo/Teuchert vermellt dit:

Nahmadd, -mahd f. Nachmahd, der zweite Grasschnitt der Wiesen, im Gegensatz
zur
*Vörmadd; Namatt *secunda messis, graminisque foenique;  tadelnd vom
schlechten Mäher: *dei lett glik dei Nahmad stahn*  Ro Gribn.

Ernteregeln: *Ägidi (1. Sept.) ward dei Nahmadd meiht;  Micheil (29. Sept.)
warden Ketüffel klei't un Nahmahd meiht.*
Die räumliche Verbreitung von Nahmadd und Nahmahd verzeichnet D. WA, 1. FN.
:  Walther Mitzka, Deutscher Wortatlas. Vom 5. Bande an Walther Mitzka -
Ludwig Erich Schmitt. Gießen 1951 ff. FN. Flurname, Flurnamen. *
Nahmaddwisch.*

Hartlich Gräuten.

Hanne
