Yesterday I heard another version I'd never heard before: in southern Land 
Hadeln they use it as _gäu_/_goy.
In and around that district, called 'Sietland' ('Low Land') partly are 
living the descendents of Dutch/Frisian settlers. The first of them already 
came in the early 13. century.
I wonder where they picked up this version, if they really are the creators 
of it.

Greutens/Regards
