Dear Reuben and Heiko,

(regarding _pesern_)

many thanks to both of you!
(Jleich zwey Deibels de mer haben helfen jekonnt ;-)!)

A very interesting site.

After a first glance- two words there I know in different meaning:

_Kujel_, translated to G:'Schwein', E:'pig' I know in the special meaning of
G:'Eber', E:'boar'.

_Zoß_, translated as G:'Ziege', E:'goat' I know as G:'Pferd', E:'horse' in a
disparaging meaning.

Greutens/Regards

Juten Tachjen, Jonny!

> _Zoß_,

Do you pronounce this with a schort "o" (*tsos <Zoss>) or with a long "o" 
(*tsoos <Zohß>)?

I wonder if there is a connection with Polish (and Kashubian?) _koza_ 
'goat'.  (Bear in mind the regional feature /k/ -> kj ~ tj.)

> _Kujel_, translated to G:'Schwein', E:'pig' I know in the special meaning

Interesting!  Compare Old Prussian (Baltic) _kûilîs_ 'boar'!

Thanks, Jonny!
