(English below)
Moin, Ron, Leeglanners,

siit 'n poor Doog mook ick mi Gedanken üm dat Woord (LS) "teigen", "geigen",
(D) tegen", (G) "gegen", (E)"against".
In uns snacksch Munnoort bruukt wi jem beid: "teigen" un "geigen".

Disse Oort von 't Verschuuwen von "g" to "t" (or annersrümm) begriep ick
amend ne..

Kann door einen helpen?

English version (as I guess it to be *s*):

Since a couple of days I'm making thoughts about the word (LS) "teeigen",
"geigen", (D) "tegen", (G) "gegen", (E) "against".
I found out, that in our special, regional LS dialect we're using both:
"teigen" un "geigen".

I don't understand this kind of shifting from "g" to "t" (or the other way)
at all.

Anybody able to help?

Best greutens

Fiete.
