We mak 'em, you tak 'em.

Sandy, I would give you that, except for when I see "tomar una decisión" in
Spanish and expressions with nehmen in standard German. It goes on and on.
All the romance languages use their verb for to take. I cannot speak for
other families though.

Subject:

Lowlanders: I'm interested in seeing some forms in other Germanic
languages which are usually reserved for poetry and some musical lyric.
Are there some words that are modified or abridged as in English:
oer/over, neer/never (ne'er/never a), 'tis/it is, oer/over, etc.? As
well, there others that may be in current usage though probably
provincial such as: nys/none is (is not),  nad/had not, etc.  Thanks,
Sid
