<br>server. I've contacted the consultants at LINGUIST and hope we'll soon get<br>to the bottom of this and remedy it.<br><br>It's good to have you among us.<br><br>I'm not sure what tho is supposed to mean without knowing (1) the context
<br>and (2) what language it is, East Frisian or Middle Saxon. Could it mean<br>'then', 'at that time'?<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron</pre></div></span>In other words, you might need to give us a few examples.
<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br><br>P.S.:<br>It could well be that you missed it because you were looking for your subject line "The meaning of "tho" used early 1500s in area of Jever, Lower Saxony". I refer you to the relevant rule (
<a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/rules-en.php">http://www.lowlands-l.net/rules-en.php</a>):<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stick to the subject title</span><br>If you start an entirely new discussion, you are welcome to create your own subject title. The administrator may or may not adopt that title. (The more general the title is the better is the chance that he/she will adopt it; otherwise he/she will generalize it.) If you respond or add to previous postings in an already existing subject line, please use the already existing title of that discussion thread as your subject heading. For instance, if the current title is "Language varieties" and you respond to what someone wrote about vowels in Flemish dialects, don't choose something like "Long o and u in the dialects of Southern Flanders and speech habits of young Belgians" as your subject heading; stick to "Language varieties," if you like it or not. This facilitates sorting submissions at the administrative end. If the administrator feels that the discussion has changed or a new discussion has branched off an existing one, it is the his/her job to give it a new title.
