Sabine,
I don’t know whether the 1921 version is a re-print. I can say that the pdf
file stops just where it starts getting REALLY interesting! :-) Is there any
more of it?

I have high regard for these older works of dialectology that were done in
the late 19th and early 20th century. I have found heaps of very interesting
publications in the Vienna University library and the Austrian National
Library, especially, in the Lowlands context, one on the Mainland
North-Frisian dialect of Mooring. These older surveys, though antiquated in
method and style, are meticulously researched and very carefully written.
Also, they will be documentation of an older form of speech, like a window
into the past. For example, I read that older people around the turn of the
century still used a voiced inter-dental fricative (voiced “th” in English
“then”) where modern Mooring dialect has [z] or [s].

Hi, I was searching for confirmations of words and sources and so I
found this booklet online:

http://home.wxs.nl/~obd/obo/platt/gueterslohtext.pdf

Now this book has been printed in 1921. Then searching for the birth and
death dates of Hans Wix I only fond one who lived from 1889 to 1914.

Does anyone know more about this? Is this one the person that wrote the
book and maybe the book of 1921 is a re-print?

Thank you!

Ciao, Sabine
