Hello and a warm welcome!

Mieke,

First and foremost: Be Welcome to Lowlands-L!
I welcome you in the name of the translators team. Stan Levinson and I are
in charge of translating *lowlandsl-talk* into Portuguese. Once again,
Welcome! Welkom! Bem-Vinda!

Unfortunately, I am not the one who can answer precisely to your request, I
study the Dutch language as well, but it's my seventh language and I am not
able to
Anyway, this link shows the history of the Netherlands and Belgium (it's all
in Dutch), it's a nice work and it's worth of a visit.

that..)

**Ron, sorry if these links and the letter are a bit off-topic**

I have a question for you and everyone: Where does  your name come from? It
is so beautiful, Mieke!

Mieke, I hope you feel very welcome here, just as I feel!

Have a great day!

Easy like a Sunday morning...
