<p style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Hi all,<br><br>Thanks for the responses about 'maskie'.
</span></font></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Edith Raidt says ("Afrikaans en sy
Europese verlede"),<br>that maskie <span> </span>(> Port. mas que; A. miskien, tog, dalk) was<br>used in Cape archival writing since 1714,
but was known in<br>Dutch since 1700, (and she quotes
Rebelo).</span></font></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">The Afrikaans 'almaskie' was only used much
later. </span></font></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">In Boshoff and Nienaber's "Afrikaanse
Etimologieƫ", "alla" possibly <br>comes from the Arabic <i><span style="font-style: italic;">ualah (</span></i>A. 'vooruit') or is derived from 'Allah'.
</span></font></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 150%; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Cheerio!</span></font></span><span><font color="black" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;">
