In Limburgisch:

1) eine kwakker
2) ein króddel
3) eine dwerg
4) ein aektes / ein herdis / ein aes
5) ein heks
6) ein auw (ein auw tesj / ein auw sjroef / ein auw sjroet [sjroet
means 'turkey'])

- eine is also pronounced ['ne] (masc.)
- ein  ,,                 ['n]  (fem.)
- ei   ,,                 [e]   (neut.)

   'K en doen, zei de kraeie .
   En de puut kroop uut!
   Pekke! zei de kraeie.
   'K ein 't èpeisd, zei de puut.
And in French-Flanders it goes like that:
   De kraei zegt egen de put: Put kruupt uut!
   'K en doen! zegt de put, je zoudt me pakken.
   De kraei zegt egen de put: Put, kruupt uut!
   Nink, zegt de put. De kraei zegt egen
   de put: Put,kruupt uut! En de put kruupt uut.
   Epakt! zegt de kraei. 'K han epeisd, zegt de put.
