<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">The Dutch and Afrikaans suffixing of a word for
"people" seems to be being "reenacted" these days in American English, where the
use of an older polite form did away with the distinction between singular and
plural, and the plural is now being restored by the addition of "guys" to "you."
If this becomes formalized, English may end up with "you" for the singular and
with something like *"youguys" for the plural. </span><br></div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><font size="2">Though I use you guys to speak of second person plural, I haven't any
objections to yall or even you all. When I hear you all with the two words
clearly demarcated, I think of a much larger group of people included in the
second person plural than I do when I hear yall without the demarcation. I
actually saw an online reference grammar of the Russian language that uses yall
to indicate 2nd person plural to distinguish it from 2nd PS. Russian is big on
that so they had to find a way to get that into an English-speaking brain.

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">Hi Ron,
thank you for that interesting list.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">Of
course I am familiar with "het Sprengendal", but that is in the Saxon part of
the </span></font><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">Netherlands</span></font><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">The term
that I missed in English is Font. Like in the name of "Abbisfont", one of the
beautiful rose gardens in </span></font><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">England</span></font><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">, where you see the water literally spring out of the well. Not
quite a fountain, but a font? Ah! The Perfumes! The Dutch cognate is "doopvont"
(baptismal font). Jacqueline</span></font></p></div></div></div><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">----------</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
