what do we know about the the word MLG "wambeis", used about a sort of a
jacket, in the 15th century and probably before and after. Schiller
& Lübben 5:581 have the forms wambōs, wambois, wambes,
wambus och wammis; in Dutch the forms wambuis and the shortening buis
are found, I think, and the meaning is ’shirt’ or something like that. I
would especially be intrested in such shortened forms, "buis", "bois"
etc. Do they exist, are they still in use, are they Dutch or Low German?
Who uses them? Are they used of fisherman clothes etc.
<br><br>
Thank you,
<br><br>

<br>I am very happy to see you come on board, and I am sure I am not the only Lowlander who is.<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA<br><br>P.S.: Our existing Icelandic version of the Low Saxion (Low German) fable (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/islenska.php">http://lowlands-l.net/anniversary/islenska.php</a>) is yearning for an audio file to go with it. Alternative Icelandic versions would be appreciated also. No pressure, but ... if you or fellow-Icelanders you know could oblige, that would be terrific. <br>
