Groeten, alle

Dumb (even for me!) question: is this _ui to ai_ process similar to that
which occurred in the Six Counties of the North of Ireland, _house_ to
_hais_ ?, Or _pound_ to _paind_ ?

I recall that non-Dutch also have trouble with the square in Amsterdam named
_Spui_, pronouncing it e.g., _spow_ or _spooee_. Something like an unstable
molecule, inte sant?

Arthur
