Leeve Leeglanners, Ron,

is man jüstemang 'n poor Minüden her, door heff ick inn 'n Mail dennen
"Oorlog" (UG: "Krieg"; E: "war") bruukt.

Doorbie is mi infullen: dat wöör ein' von de eirsten Wöör, de ick opp LL-L
kennen leihrt heff.
Ick wull mii tau klauk un wies mooken, heff mien Mentors froogt- keein
Deubel wüss 't door watt mit antaufangen.
Dee Einkelte wöör Holger >platt at Holger.Weigelt.de<, dei mi tau vertell' n
kunn, watt dat woll 'n recht aule Sook wöör un' in Düütschland ne meihr in
Gebruuk.

Mann- van 'n Oobend full mi in: in uns snaacksche Munnoort waard noch bruukt
dat Woord "oorig", meeint: (UG) "böse, schlimm", (E): "bad, evil".

Mi dücht, door hangt de "Oorlog" ("Oor-" = "war"??) mit tauhaup; mööt wi
blaut noch ruutfinnen, wo dat Woorddeil "-log" von herkoomen deiht.

Greutens

Fiete.
