Hello,

I told you already about the westhoek-Flemish and how they alwaeys use
"enni" ("ehne" - meaning "eh neen" or "nietwaar")at the end of almost
every sentense.The "eh" you speak of is also used in Flemish (The most
near tongue  of Zeelandic)It sounds just like "mm or "ehe"(meaning
yes). And their is a big variety of other words to end a sentense. I
think that has already been mentioned quiet a  while ago (just have a
look in the archives).
