Ick glööv', düt _Kot_ hett 'n langen Vokaal, dat eenklich /aa/ is man in Juun
Mundaard un in 'n Barg annere Mundaarden as [o:] uutspraken un as _o_ schreven
wardt.  Düt Woord hebbt wie in de annern nedderdüütschen (neddersassichen)
Mundaarden ook: _Kaat_ ~ _Kot_ [kQ:t] ~ [ko:t], ingelsch _cot_ un _cottage_,
düütsch _Kate_.  Ick bün mie vermoden, dat 't ole nedderdüütsche Woord ook
_Kate_ is.  Dat is schients verwandt mit't ingelsche _cot_ (cottage, small
house, protective covering); dat dröff 'n nich verwesseln mit ingelsch _cot_
(narrow bed with a collapsible frame), dat up Hindi _khâ{t.}_ trügg-gait (<
Sanskrit _khâ{t.}va_ < Draviedsch).

De Fraag' is of dat belgsch-nedderlandsche Woord _kot_ för 'n Studentenkamer
mit dat Woord för 'n lütt Huus or mit dat ingelsche Woord för'n Klappbedd
verwandt is.

Gröten,
Reinhard/Ron
