Leeve Theo,

Du schreevst:

> So in 'helleveeg' you not only wishes someone to die,
> but also going to hel. [original meaning of 'hel'
> being 'hiding-place'].
Wat weer denn mit 'veeg' = E: 'way', G: 'Weg'; tohoup sett' denn 'road to
hell' ?

Greutens/sincerely

Leyve Jonny,

De vraag' is vör Theo, man ik anter lykers al nu.  (_Privilegium executorum_
;-) )

> Wat weer denn mit 'veeg' = E: 'way', G: 'Weg'; tohoup sett' denn 'road to
> hell' ?

Hyr hest 'n perbleem mit de schryvwys'.  Nedderlandsch _v-_ lykt us /f-/,
nich /w-/ (wat Nedderlandsch _w-_ lykt).  Nedderlandsch _veeg_ schul daar
wegen *_feeg_
or *_fege_ lyken, man in de AS schryv' ik düt /f-/ as <v-> (<veeg'> ~
<vege>), as sey 't in 't
Middel-Sassische deen.

Paslatant schul ik seggen, dat Nedderlandsch _weg_ (eyntal) in 't
Neddersassische ook _weg_ [vEC] (mit 'n korten sülstluud) is.
Neddersassisch _weeg'_ (mit 'n langen sülvstluud un sleeptoon) kümt vun
_wege_ ['ve:ge] af un is de meyrtal, up Nedderlandsch _wegen_.

Hest Dy sachs vun wegen Duytsch _Weg_ [ve:C] ~ [ve:k] verbysterd.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
