Sorry about this not appearing earlier, Jonny. I don't remember getting
the submission before.
I myself know and use several of the words you listed.
> *affmarachen* HG: (sich) abarbeiten, abrackern E: to slave
away
Yep. It's reflexive. _sik af-marachen_.
> *brüd'n* HG: necken
E:
to tease
Yep. _bruy(d)en_ seems more like 'to pester' or 'to torment' than does
_oykeln_, which is a milder form and also give the noun _oykel-naam_
'nickname'.
> *drang* HG: ernst, finster E:
grave, grim
Originally probably "full (to the point of bursting)". Thus, e.g., _Dat
hart wardt my so drang_ (which appears in my poem 'ultraschall-wegenleed')
has the connotation of both 'full' and 'sad', really "full of (sad)
emotions." _Drang_ can also be used for instance in _dey büks is em veel
tou drang_ 'the pants are much too tight for him'.
> *druuß* HG: mürrisch, finster E:
surly,
grumpy
I have a feeling this one is related to _druus'_ (1) 'drousiness', (2)
'(depressing) drizzle (and dark skies)', also _drusen_ (1) 'to be half
asleep', (2) 'to drizzle'.
> *Fent* HG: Geck
E: dude, dandy
Probably from Frisian for 'lad', also used in the earlier sense in East
Frisian LS, I believe.
Meyr later.
Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
