There is nothing funny about Swabian (and I hope it isn't any more off
topic than questions about "German"), but I noticed this:

Swabian has an opposition of "daw hinner/hanner" ("English"
transcription) and "daw hunner". Whereas the former clearly means "back
there, da hinten", the latter, if it is related to "gunt", means just
the opposite: in this very place, here.
