<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">Wat "unbidan" betreft: </font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">in boekentaal-Nederlands is er het werkwoord
"verbeiden" = wachten. Iets vetbeiden: iets verwachten.</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">Maar in het West-Vlaams van Frans-Vlaanderen
bestaat het nog in het dialect. "Beiden" = wachten.</font></div>

lietsje = wacht een beetje!</font></div>

<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Het Engels heeft ook een woord dat met "...bidan" verwant is, hoewel het tegenwoordig verouderd is: </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">to bide</i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">. Het komt nog in de idiomatische uitdrukking </span><i style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">to bide one's time </i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">("zijn tijd afwachten") voor.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
