Subject: Etymology

Surely, the ancestor of _kopij_ ('copy' as in 'manuscript', i.e.,
"copy-writing"; also _kopijrecht_ 'copyright') entered Dutch before
diphthongization of /ii/, while _copie_ ~ _kopie_ ('copy' as in 'duplicate')
entered the language after diphthongization of /ii/.

This type of multiple borrowing can be fascinating. Take for instance
prediphthongization German _Partei_ ([par'taI], '(political) party') versus
_Partie_ ([par'ti:], '(musical) part', 'round (of a game)') versus _Party_
(['parti], 'party' = 'get-together'), going back to the same source but
borrowed at different times (and from different sources).

Names are often immune to sound shifts. Well, they may be in some varieties
and not in others, as for instance German _Maria_ ~ _Marie_ ~ _Marei_

Hallo iedereen,

Inderdaad, kopie en kopiëren worden sedert de laatste spellingshervorming
allebei met een k geschreven. In het West-Vlaams is kopij en kopie eigenlijk
hetzelfde woord gebleven. De ij wordt zoals lange i (Nederlandse ie-klank)
uitgesproken. Pas als we het geschreven zien, k;rijgt het inderdaad een
andere betekenis. Kopij wordt dan een afschrift of kladwerk van iets,
terwijl kopie gewoon een duplicaat is.

P.S.: Voor Maria hebben wij Merjoa [mErjO:] en Marie en Marja en Marijke
[MarEik@] en Marieke [mArik@] en Marietje !
