<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy;">I actually have collected a little list of Low Saxon words I am
using now when speaking to my little child and with some of the words it
occurred me that I never really got to know what their origins are:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy;"><br>
"aisch" > for naughty<br>
"kruetsch" > if the child don't wants to eat the food it is
supposed ot eat<br>
"bloof" > flower, instead of common LS "bloom", might be
a very local thing for the Rendsborg district in Sleswick-Holsten<br>
"roe" as the plural of "rad" > wheel and the same for
"bloe" as the plural of "blatt" > leave<br>
"freemark" > stamp, I suspect Danish origin ("frimerke")<br>
"groessoellern" instead of common LS "grootoellern", again,
might be a very local thing for the Rendsborg district<br>
"kroeti" > for stubborn<br>
"jitteli" > for impatient<br>
"tueffeli" > for clumsy<br>
"glaai" > dishonest friendliness or dishonest kindliness.<br>
"slusoor" > for a person who is careless<br>
"schlaeif" > for a phlegmatic person</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">- "eisch" is from Germanic
aiwisk (<a href="http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=config&morpho=0&basename=%5Cdata%5Cie%5Cgermet&first=21" target="_blank"><http://starling.rinet.ru/cgi-bin/response.cgi?root=config&morpho=0&basename=\data\ie\germet&first=21></a>)
"dishonour, disgrace, offence".<br>
- "krütsch" is probably folk etymology connecting the word
"krüüsch" with "Kruud". "krüüsch" is a form with
metathesis of "köörsch", formerly "kürisch" from the same
stem as German "küren" and English "choose". In the end it's
connected with English "choosy".<br>
- I don't know about "Rö'" and "Blö'", but it's the same
here (either "Rö'" or "Rö'r")<br>
- "Größöllern" is semi-Standard German. Many Low Saxon dialects know
forms like that.<br>
- "tüffeli(g)" most likely is from "Tüffel" meaning
"slipper", short for "Pantüffel". Somebody who is
"tüffelig" is clumsy like somebody who wears slippers.<br>
- "Sleef" means "dipper". I don't know the semantical
connection between "dipper" and phlegmatic person", but it's the
same word and "phlegmatic person" is a metaphoric use.<br>
- "kröti(g)" is from Middle Low Saxon "krode" meaning
"venomous, vicous, malign".<br>
- "glai" means "glistening" and is related to
"glöhen" meaning "to glow". The meaning "dishonest
friendliness or dishonest kindliness" is figurative.<br>
- "jiddeli(g)" is known here too, but I don't know the origin.<br>
- I never heard "Bloof".<br>
