But -um is also used in a lot of saxon names, all over Denmark, like
today I live in Nærum (originally I am from Katrad/Sejstrup close by
Darum)

I expect the Jutish æ could come from Frisian, since they use that in
North-Frisian (de -> 'e?)

"Hwa er æ klokk?" (hvad er klokken)

Many or the dialect words have vanished and my knowledge of
North-Frisian is too limited to answer this.

Do må hå'et,
Kenneth

Thanks, Kenneth.  Well, yes, now that I come to think of it, there may be
Saxon names with _-um_ (Bochum?).  I am not sure.

Do you have that on good authority?

Why?  Lowlands Saxon (Low German) is "non-rhotic;" e.g., _eer_ (<ehr>)
[?E:3`] ~ [?e:3`] 'her', 'their'.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
