<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">thanks
to all of you (in special our A<strong>p</strong>palachian
friends) for your help in my research ref. <strong>_hollern_</strong>. I didn't succed yet, but made a
little progress: meanwhile I found <em>_verhollern_</em>
and a noun <em>_Hollern_</em>
(but this just might be the name of a village near by) in an old, special
dictionary for German rhymes - owned by the University of Oxford
and digitalised by GOGGLE himself. But sorry for me
- without any further explanation :-(. But this could be a
proof that it doesn't just exist in my dreams, and thus I'll have
to keep on searching!! </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Hello Heather
and Ron:. Verdwijnen from dwinnen,,, OK but how about the English to dim the
lights, Dutch "dimmen" ?</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">And yes Heather,
the particle "ver-" in front of a verb often means "
utterly/total like slapen - verslapen is to sleep-to oversleep and vallen –
vervallen is to fall – to dilapidate (if that could be a verb in English) but
kopen is to buy, verkopen is to sell.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">PS. Heather,
Don't you love those moles. A couple brought me back a small silver teaspoon
that my kids had taken outside to play some thirty five years ago! For that I
forgive them a couple of moles heaps. J.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">PS!! RON, I hope
the antibiotics are starting to work by now. There is nothing as bad as an itch
that you can't scratch. Houd je taai! J.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;"></span></p>
