<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial;">Beste Lowlanners, Reinhard
in special,</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial;">yesterday I became
remembered at an old Low Saxon word: <b><i>"Oart".</i></b> It means a
certain measurement for fluid ('schnaps' in special ;-)), and its German
relative probably is 'Quartierchen' (nearly a false Friend to the
lately discussed Dutch 'kwartiertje').</span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial;">I'd never before seen a
shifting from <i>_qu_</i> to <i>_o_</i> , <b>from a consonant to a vowel!!,</b>
and I wonder, how it happened. Does anyone know more examples of this special
kind of 'lautverschiebung'? Could it be a result of the similarity between
the writing of these two letters, in other words - a kind of vowel
shifting via "Schriftsprache" ('written language')? </span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial;">Allerbest, and enjoy the
rest of Sunday!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial;">They are
not related. <i>Quartierchen</i> (or <i>Quartier</i>) is called so, cause it is
the fourth part of a <i>Nössel</i>. According to Schiller-Lübben <i>Ort</i>
originally meant the place where two lines meet. From this developed today's
meaning <i>place. Ort </i>for <i>quarter</i> developed from the idea, that two
lines meeting at one place dissect the surrounding area into four quarters. See

Thanks, Marcus.<br>
<br>
I assume that <i>Nössel</i> is where the verb <i>nösseln</i> ~ <i>nüsseln</i> 'to
carouse', 'to imbibe' comes from.<br>
<br>
English has a liquid measure called "quart".<br>
