> I am studying the introduction of the reflexive form "zich" in Middle
Dutch.

>
> (1) Hij wast hem.
>      He washes him.

> Meaning either: He washes himself or He washes somone else.

> Nowadays, however, some dialects in the Netherlands still have 'older'

Hast alle farianten fan it Frysk hewwe jin foarmen fan "zich", en at dy der
âl binne,
binne it lienfoarmen út it Nederdútsk en hawwe se de foarm "sik" (of
soksawat), ik mien
dat it Sealtersk sokke foarmen het. En faaks it Helgolânsk ek. Mar alle
dialekten hewwe fierders
"him/har" (Westerlauwerk) , en dan de eigen fariant derfan, fansels.

Dus foar it Westerlauwersk: Hy wasket him; Sy wasket har (of Hja wasket
har), en meartal
Se waskje har(ren) / hja waskje har(ren).
Dit jildt ek foar it Stedsk. (Hij wast him , Se wast hur etc.)
