have noticed that metathesis still occurs spontaneously today. Juat
yesterday I heard my 5 year old daughter to change Benjamin into
Bemmajin. And when our oldest was in kindergarten she changed Jennifer
into Gennishwa. One more, very common example is the ice cream flavour
stracciatella which shoud be pronounced like s-tratshiatella, but the
common pronunciation that I hear around Hamburg is shtratsiatella.<br>
<br>Therefore I am not su much surprised to find metathesis quite
freaquently when words were borrowed from one language into another.<br><br>Greetings from Heiko Evermann<br>Ellerau (no longer Hamburg)<br><br>----------<br><br><span>From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>
