> Dear Lowlander,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
> The below sentence appears in "An Introduction to Middle Dutch"
by Collette van Kerckvoorde. It appears in Chapter 20.2, The Oldest
Dutch Sentence. The author writes here; "Since written documentation of
the oldest stages in the history of the Dutch language is so scarce,
Kenneth Sisam's discovery of an Old Dutch sentence in 1931 was of great
significance."</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">

> "All birds have begun their nests except for me and you"</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
></span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
> Last year I was studying the "Old English and its Closest
Relatives", by Orrin Robinson. In this book, the other Germanic
languages were considered in their earliest attested forms, including
Dutch. I collected grammars for all of the older Germanic language
forms, but could not obtain an Old Dutch one. The earliest stage of
Dutch, that I could obtain, was the Van Kerckvoorde book. This book
covered case, number and gender information of Middle Dutch which was
of particular information to me.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
> I can't speak about any vowel shift from uo to oe in Dutch.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
> You can see that English good becomes Dutch goed, hook becomes
hoek, stool becomes stoel, etc. This is a regular sound relationship
between English and Dutch.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
