<div><span><font face="Courier New">these days I got an
interesting book, written by a local pastor and historican in the middle of the
18th century.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">Among a lot of
other interesting stuff I found a list of Frisian words which already in
the authors time had been aspected as 'old'. You have to be somewhat critically,
because the author himself came from a different region (near Hamburg) with a
different language. </font></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span><font face="Courier New">In spite of that
perhaps one or another of you will find pleasure with them, so I made some
effort for myself and wrote them down. The translations of course are authored
into the kind of German which was written at that time, and so I added an
English translation where necessary.</font></span></div>
