Rrreeeynhhaaard!

Jümmer noch:
> Annere Leyglanders moegt dat anners seyn.

Loot dat no! 'Leygh' is 'evil', 'nieder' in uns Over-regio-lect!
_Leyglanders_ is Schimpers! 'Siid-Lanners' woyr tou'n Biispeel beter, or
Laag-Lanners (man- dat begrippt keyn Deubel...).

Du finn'st door 'wiss noch beter wat...

"Enttäusche uns bitte nicht- auch unter lobenswerten, grenz-übergreifenden
uni-saxonischen Absichten kannst Du nicht einen solch großen Anteil der Nativen
permanent provozieren wollen!" ;-)!
(BTW: Gerade im Sietland (un-=Leygland) findest Du als 'kostbare Antiquität' noch
eine besonders beeindruckende, weil sprachlich archaische Gemeinschaft *echter*
nativer Niederdeutscher! Man- de oul'n hOllanners un Freysen sünd door düchdig
mang ruut tou hoyrn ;-)!)

Very best!

Johannes "Jonny" Meibohm

Jooonnnny! Och, Jooonnnny!

Nu laat maal by de saak Dyn ünnerbüks nich in d'n tuydel kamen! ;-)

"Leyg" (< leyge < lage = low) beduyd tou eyrst "niedrig", later ook "niedrig =
minderwertig = schlecht" un den mayst bloots noch "schlecht" ... man nich in al
de dialekten.

In de Nedderlanden un in d'n westen vun Neddersassen kan dat noch "niedrig"
beduyden, un in naams vindst dat ook noch, t.b. "Im Leegland" by Auerk (Aurich).
In 'n barg Hollandsche, Brabantsche un Vlaamsche dialekten is dat ook "Leegland"
neven "Laagland".

"Sydland" beduydt na myn verscheel 'n lütter stük land (t.b. "Twüschen syn veld
un de küst leyg' 'n sydland, un daar kunst niks up bouen, was veel tou nat un vul
vun klay.") 'n Rebeyd kan dat na myn dinken nich beduyden.

Platlander (Plattlanner)? Man in Neddervranksche beduydt dat to meyrst "minschen
up'n lannen".

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
