================================================================

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hello,
I'm very interested in finding information about the development in Dutch
of [x], especially in graphic /-ge-/ and /-gi-/ combinations.  I'm
especially interested in finding out whether there was a shift from an
original (Germanic?) [g] pronunciation and whether the shift was caused by
external or foreign influences.  Bibliographies or research references are
very, very welcome.
Thank you.
