>The word
'haag' "hedge" is used in a particular meaning in a number of compound
nouns
and expressions: 'haagschool' "truancy", extant in Kiliaan's 16th century
Dutch-Latin dictionary as 'haegh-schole' "schola non publica, exigua, non
celebris, infrequens, obscura"; further more 'hagenmeester' "unqualified
physician", 'hagenpreek' "secret sermon in the open in the earlier stages
of
the Reformation", <

Hedge schools were known in 19th century Ireland, where children from the
countryside were taught 'in the open air' by Irish speaking teachers.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that 'hedge sermons' existed too!

Ja Ingmar,
Bij ons is het nu wel juist omgekeerd. 'Sinds' voelt formeel en
ouderwets aan en 'sedert' is voor ons heel gewoon.
Merk op dat we in het West-Vlaams ook wel zeggen 'sicht'n
wanneêr' (D: sedert wanneer).

Elsie het geskryf:

"In Afrikaans is 'sedert' die gebruiklike maar ouer mense (plus 70) gebruik
nog 'sinds'."

Baaie interessant. Toe ek in Suid Afrika gebly het, het ek nooit 'sinds' 
gehoor nie. Dit was 30 jare voor.
