'n Obend, Helge (Tietz),

Du hesst schreeven:

> Een "knief" bruk wi no wul in Rendsborg man
> is dat een groot 'knief", darmet kans een brot snieden un annere grote
> stuecken, een "mess" is luetter un wi bruk dat alleen bi't eten

Freut mi düchdich, watt ji dat "Knief" vandoog jüst sou hevvt. Ick kenn 't
man noch eben ut miin Kinnertieden un wöör all bang, wat dit Woord ne meer
tou dennen "aktiven" Bruuk van uns Sprook höör'n deeh.

Ick glööv, wi hevvt dat ook sou bruukt: 'n "Knief" wöör 'n heel grout' Metz,
un 'n "Metz" wöör meerstentieds man jüst 'n (lütt) Metz.

> Froeher op lannen harrn
> se
> blot een lepel un knief to'n eten

Bi uns, güntsieds vonne Elv, harren 's alleen Löpels- de Metzen wöörn tou
gefaarli :-)!

Allerbest Greutens/sincerely

Well, this is completely a stab in the dark, and probably wrong, and
almost assuredly going to invoke the wrath of the antifolketymologists,
but I just can't help myself.  What about "yonder"?  Perhaps I can at
least get credit for the most outlandish conjecture?

Darrin.
