<div><font face="courier new,monospace">Dank Jouw, Hanne, Heinrich un' Joachim,<br> <br>foyr Jouwn Hölp bii "vernielen/verneelen".<br> <br>(English summary below)<br> <br>Joachim:<br> <br>ik glöif, de ursprunk van ostfreesk »verneelen” geyt uut dem indrag in Klöntrups westfœlsk wördebouk for »verniil(e)n” hervor:<br>
"vernilen: gänzlich vernichten, a n n i h i l a r e ."<br>Auk wan dat nin etymologisk wördebouk is, sluute ik uut dem indrag, dat Klöntrup (ümme 1800) 'verniiln' up de latiinske wuerdel<br>'nihil' = niks, 'nihilare' = tonichte maaken<br>
torügföört hadde.<br>Un dat sçint mi auk krass korrekt!<br> <br>Dat mit "annihilare" kunn woll hen-kaomen. Man - wo is' dat her-kaomen ;-)? Mit de Franken uut dat Franzöös'sche, as <br> "annihiler"? Sücht maist sou uut, un' ouk, wat dat schiints meyhr inne West van 't Neddersassische/Nedersaksische Spraok-Gebiet tou finnen is, kunn woll 'n Henwiis ween.<br>
<br>(English summary):<br> <br>Thanks to Hannelore, Heinrich and Joachim for their help to find out the roots of the LS-word "vernielen/verneelen", which means "to destroy".<br> <br>Joachim wrote, that it could be a descendant of Latin "annihilare" with the same meaning. I wonder how this came into LS, and I guess that it made its early way via French "annihiler", brought by the Franks into the western regions of the Low Saxon areas.<br>
