<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Beste
Lowlanners,</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">the
best way to learn more about Low Saxon is to talk with native
"Nedersaksen" in the Netherlands,
but to deal as much as possible with the Dutch/Belgian Standard-Taal as well.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Yesterday
my friend Piet Bult from Stellingwerf (NL) and I came across the different words
for <strong>"frog"</strong>
<em>('anura')</em> and <strong>"toad" (</strong>archaic<strong> "paddock")</strong> <em>('bufonidae').</em></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size: 11pt;">frog:</span></u><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> NL <strong>"kikker";</strong> DE <strong>"Frosch";</strong> LS

"Puggen", "Ütschen"(<span style="color: red;">*</span><span style="color: black;">)</span></strong></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>

<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">[</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt;">(<strong><span style="color: red;">*</span></strong><span style="color: black;">)</span> <em><b>Ütschen</b></em><strong>(<span style="color: red;">***</span>)</strong>
originally denotes a DE "<strong>Unke",</strong>
<em>'bombina';</em> NL
"vuurbuikpadde", "onheilsprofeet"(<strong><span style="color: red;">**</span></strong>). Someone told
me anytime that this mistake had been occured by any fairytale of the Grimm
brothers(!) - probably wrongly translated it found its solid place in our Low
Saxon language.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">(</span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: red;">**</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">)In German we also connect 'Unke' as well as the Netherlanders with
the 'prophesy of doom'. In this sense we even use the verbum "unken"
in daily language.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">(</span><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: red;">***</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;">) Does anyone know the meaning of "Ültje" (which is a
brand of the Unilever Company now)? In de.wiki I just found that the word is
from Eastern Frisian Low Saxon, denoting a 'peanut'. I dont believe in this,
because, if it should make sense, it should be 'oiltje' - 'oil-{nut}'.<strong>]</strong></span></p>

<p style="font-family: courier new,monospace;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Now,
what made me curious about these words is the fact how different all the
mentioned languages have formed and specialized them.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></p>
