Subject: LL-L: Low Saxon Appelsaft vs. Appelsapp

Moin tosamen,

the Low Saxon Wikipedia again led to a question:

what is Low Saxon for "appel juice"?
* Appelsapp or
* Appelsaft

Neuber ("Wöhrner Wöör") writes "Das alte ND. Wort Sapp ist bereits seit 200
Jahren verdrängt."

Other dictionaries list "Saft" and "Sapp", but they all list "Saft" first.
What is the actual usage? Is there a geographic distribution of usage?

What is your recommendation? Accept the death of a word and accept the 
import
or stand against the tide and use the old-fashioned word?

Kind regards,

Heiko Evermann
