Subject: Pronunciation

Dear Holger

Many thanks for your translation of the numbers to 100 with the Eastern
Friesland Low Saxon version. However, as regards the pronuciation of
300,
dreihunnert, I wondered if the ei sound in drei resembled the ij sound
of
the Dutch language in any way.

>The numerals 13-19 show an interesting irregularity because the long
>~a:j~
>in ta:jn should regularly be changed to short ~ai~ not to ~ei~ which is
>the
>short equivalent to long ~[a-Umlaut]j~ (regular example: dr[a-Umlaut]j /
>dreihunnert = 3 / 300).

Regards
David Elsworth.
