CORRECTION

Am 19.02.2010, 18:39 hadde ik, Joachim, scriewen:

Man in den annern fal, wår du, Marcus, van *partisip perfekt* kürs, hes du
minner recht. De vorsilbe *gi-, later ge-, later (deylwiis, ås auk in
westfœlsk, e-) is 'ne Ault-Sasseske fuorm:*
*giworfan, gisprokan*


Sorry, with "giworfan" I had come unawares into the OHighG line. For OLowG
and Old Saxon it should (and must) of course read:

*giworpan* from *werpan* (EN to warp, throw), *ik warp* (EN I warped) - *wi
wurpan* (EN we warped), ppp: *giworpan* (EN warped)

--- ADDITIONAL COMMENT ---

In MLowG/MLowSaxon the same verb had been inflected:

*werpen, (ik) warp - (wi) worpan, ppp: geworpen*

So I'm still of the opinion, that - notwithstanding the later neclect,
shortening or loss of the *ge-* prefix in many follow-up vernaculars or
patois on "Saxon" territories - the *ge- prefix is inherited both from OHiG
**and** Old/Middle Saxon. *And the criterion of it's use in regional
varieties or not within the LowGerman-Dutch-Dialect continuum is not really
suitable to draw separation lines between "Saxon" and "Not Saxon". It
wouldn't be a deviation from the Saxon or Low Germanic character of the
language tradition, if it is used in regional "Saxon" Plat nowadays, though
I don't regard it as necessary or preferable.

 Met echt-westfœlsken »Goutgaun!«
