quote from http://www.spiegel.de/reise/aktuell/0,1518,375478,00.html :

"So erhält der Bahnhof Westerland (Sylt) ein Schild mit der Aufschrift
Weesterlön (Söl), wie die Deutsche Bahn in Hamburg mitteilte. Husum wird
auch mit Hüsem beschildert, Bredstedt mit Bräist, Niebüll mit Naibel, Morsum
mit Muasem. In Keitum wird auch ein Schild "Kairem" hängen, in Langenhorn "e
Hoorne" und in Klanxbüll "Klangsbel" ."

Husum - Huesem, Morsum - Muasem: I always thought, that the ending -um is
typical Frisian and -em is typical Dutch and LS. It seems to be the other
way round.

Servus, Karl-Heinz, Lowlanders!

If you are intererested you could look through lists of German, Danish and 
Frisian equivalents of place names in Schleswig here:
http://www.rostra.dk/slesvig/

Here a useful list of frequently occurring elements in place names of 
Schleswig-Holstein:
http://www.sh-tourist.de/radderge/lexikon/lexikon.htm

Here about the Frisian origin of place names in Emsland:
http://www.familie-hilling.de/emslandbuch/1926/abels-ortsnamen.html

Here some East (Sater) Frisian names of western Lower Saxony (following 
German versions):*

Barsel = Beersel
Betholt = Betholt
Eliesabethfeen = Liesbethfeen
Friesoythe =  Ait
Langhorst = Longhorst
Leer = Liir
Ramsloh = Romelse
Saterland = Seelterlound
Scharrel =  Schäddel
Sedelsberg = Sedelsbirg
Strücklingen = Strukelje

* Bear in mind that Sater Frisian, the only surviving dialect of East 
Frisian, was exported from Eastern Friesland (which became LS-speaking) to 
Saterland south of Eastern Friesland, and that the place names listed above 
are likely to be of Low Saxon origin rather than of Sater origin.

By the way, it has been reported that Frisian place names of Germany will 
from now on appear on maps.

Reinhard/Ron
