<div><font color="#000099"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The first time I went to the Netherlands I got talking about language, especially Afrikaans (I lived in SA back then). I commented that Afrikaans had "baie" rather than "veel", and they said that Dutch people would still know what I meant. I didn't know about the Malay origin at the time so I thought it was a Dutch dialect word; has it crept in to Hollands then?</font></font></div>

<font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Dutch has the word: beu [say: /bø/].</font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> The origin of this word [the meaning is circling around: plenty] has never been explained in whatever direction.</font></div>
<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I remember that in older dutch the word is to be found in the written form: boie.</font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Well, isn't this a beautiful puzzle for our lowlands-friends?</font></div><div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I guess that our experts of zeeuws and vlaams might digg in their historical archives and come up with something useful.</font></div>
