<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Actually not! There is a
huge amount of sensual satisfaction to be had from saying "Quiddje" -
a slow deliberation of lips, teeth and tongue - let alone the sound it produces.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">'Stink' on the other hand
sounds short, sharp and nasty even with a Germanic 'st-' rather than English
'st-'. There is little pleasure to be had in its saying......... even with
-büdel attached - which I take to be the Low German form of our
'bundle' with nasalisation ???</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I love words that are delicious

Ok, OK, Heather! Be like that then! Picky, picky ...<br>
<br>
Many of us boys enjoy the sound of somewhat naughty words. To us they're "like
buttah". I guess that's because we tend to be <i>Stinkbüdels</i> in the Flemish
sense: naughty, yet clever ... and of course irresistably cute.<br>
<br>
By the way, in most Northern Low Saxon dialects (and also in several Missingsch
and other North German varieties) <i>st-</i>, <i>sp-</i>, <i>sm-</i>, <i>sn-</i>, <i>sl-</i> and <i>sk-</i>
are pronounced as in English. It's the sound Southerners consider "typically
northern". This sound has been fading in the wake of increasing Germanization, though.<br>
