Dortmund (westfalian Platt) has 'Heia maken',
'heien' means something like oppassen, wachten op Diers.

Ik glööv', dat kannst up Noordsassisch ook seggen, un dat bedüüdt ,,slapen''.

Un dat nich, dücht mie.

Says who?!  Und der Beweis dafür wäre dann wo zu finden?

Dat schull sachs anners rüm west wesen.

In North Saxon _tou_ (_to_), _naa_ (_na_) and _in_ can be used:

to Koj(e) gaan
to Klapp gaan
to Wiemen gaan
to Fedderball gaan

na'n Bedd gaan

in de Feddern gaan/krupen
in de Puuch gaan/krupen
in't Nest krupen

Mie dücht, ,,in de Heia gaan'' kann liek as ,,in de Puuch gaan'' seggt warrn.
Uut't Düütsche övernamen?  Kann dat amenn annersrüm wesen?  Faken weett 'n nich,
wat uut wat övernamen worrd is.

Gröten/Regards,

Reinhard/Ron
