<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Courier New";" lang="DE"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Beste Lowlanners,</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
im Moment spuken mir wieder einmal einige Wörter im Kopf herum, deren
etymologische Wurzeln ich mit Eurer Hilfe gern herausfinden möchte.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<u style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">1.</u><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> ist es das Nomen </span><b style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><i>"Lusche"</i></b><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> mit der
Bedeutung </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'Verlierer, Versager'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">. Das sicher dazu gehörige Adjektiv </span><b style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><i>"luschig"</i></b><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
hat interessanter Weise ja die vom Nomen ein wenig abweichende Bedeutung </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'unordentlich,
schlampig, nachlässig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">. Ich frage mich, ob diese Wörter niederdeutschen
Ursprunges sind und ob da evtl. irgendwelche gemeinsamen Wurzeln mit dem
englischen </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'looser'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> bestehen.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Allerdings kennen wir ja auch das plattdeutsche Wort </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'elaotsch'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">, </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'elootsch'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">,
das eher dem hochdeutschen(?) </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'latschig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">, ebenfalls im Sinne von </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'nachlässig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">,
zuzuordnen wäre.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<u style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">2.</u><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> ist es das Adjektiv </span><b style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><i>"drall"</i></b><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">, das ja wohl
niederdeutschen Ursprunges ist, aber auch hochdeutsch verwendet wird. Ich
selbst kenne dieses Wort nur im Zusammenhang mit einem "menschlichen Wesen
weiblichen Geschlechtes ;-)", nämlich als </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'<b>dralle</b> Deern'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">. Meine
persönliche Assoziation wäre </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'sexy,; klein und wohl ausgestattet mit
sekundären weiblichen Geschlechts-Merkmalen'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">, aber auch irgendwie </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'propper,
handfest'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">. Mein jüngster Onkel (plattdeutscher Muttersprachler) hatte sogar
die Assoziation </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'flink, tüchtig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Allerdings gibt es auch hier wieder das Problem, dass wir ein niederdeutsches
Verb haben, nämlich</span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> <b>'dralleyrn/dralleern'</b></i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> mit der hochdeutschen
Bedeutung </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'die Besinnung verlieren'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">. Oder ist es verwandt mit </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'drollig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
(=</span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'trollig'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">), in der Grundbedeutung von </span><i style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">'zwergenhaft'</i><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">? Eventuell
sogar mit einer noch älteren , gemeinsamen Wurzel?</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Wie bekommt man </span><b style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">das</b><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> in beiden Fällen unter einen Hut? </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Ich bedanke mich im Voraus für Eure Antworten und wünsche allen ein frohes (vor
allem in Norddeutschland etwas wärmeres) Pfingstfest! Dieser Mai war/ist nicht
'moi'!</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
Allerbest!</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
