Are you sure that it really <u>is</u> Low Saxon? Where is the proof?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">>
The proof is that it's used in Low Saxon speech!? Or is this question just
impyness?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">In
my Low Saxon speech we say 'Beyderkeys''. That's absolute within the Low Saxon
rules, I think, and is the direct successor of "Bederiks-a" ;-)!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">>
In my previous mail I explained the sound shifts that led to the word.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: "Courier New";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">But
you withheld us that the same occurs in Standard German: the pronunciation
"Be'er-kesa" is not unusual for speakers of Standard German.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">>
It's obviously the direct successor of the old "*Bederiks-a".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">By
no means, with this miss of '-<u>k</u>[es]' and a "t" added for
special purposes.</p>
