Thanks, Peter!

(LS below)

What I was astonished about was, that "Urian" just is listed in the German
"Rechtschreib-Duden", but not in the "Fremdwörter-Duden".

It obviously seems to be a very old loanword, becoming part of "regular"
Upper German.

BTW: I would have enjoyed Your answer in Sater-Frisian. I did never see/hear
this Saxon variety at all!

Regards

Fiete.

Dank Dii, Peiter!

Watt mii ne in 'n Kopp wull, wöör, dat "Urian" blaut in dennen
"Rechtschreib-Duden" steiht, man amend ne in 'n "Fremdwörter-Duden".

Mi dücht, dat mutt 'n recht aulet Fremdwoord ween un' mitte Tiid 'n
Hauchdüütsch Woord wonnen hebben.

Blangenbii: Ick haar mii freuut, wenn Du opp Sater-Freesk aantert haarst.
Ick heff disse Sassisch' Speeloort all me Leev ne seihn/höört.

't allerbest

Fiete.
