<font color="#000000">"miezeren" Never heard of that one. I am Mennonite and grew up speaking Mennonite Low German or Menniteschet Plautdietsch. In 1875, most of our people moved from Russia to Canada. My grandfather at age 15 was one of them. My parents were born in Canada. </font><div>
<font color="#000000">You can check up on our Plautdietsch if you go to <a href="http://www.mennolink.org/doc/lg/" target="_blank">http://www.mennolink.org/doc/lg/</a> </font></div><div><font color="#000000">I understand that our people came from Holland at one time. Hence, I suspect that the movement of water was of importance, thus so many words to name the movement of water.</font><div>
<font color="#000000">I have written Enn Bloomenheim Oppjewossen, a Plautdietsch story of my growing up years in the Mennonite village of Blumenheim in Saskatchewan, Canada. If you give me your surface mailing address, I'll send you a copy.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000000">Actually, I also wrote this book in English as Growing up in Blumenheim. </font></div><div><font color="#000000">I was involved in teaching Low German to some of the descendants of our group. Hence, I have published a study guide with the Low German version on the left hand side of the pages and the English version on the right hand side.</font></div>
