Subject: Mekaar

Marlou Lessing wrote about mekaar.

Mekaar is used in The Netherlands

Mekaar = elkaar, which is derived from elkander. In saxon elkanner. In
former times I also heard some people say malkander. I heard it in the
North, where Saxon language might be the origin. It might be related to
"mekaar".

Maybe it helps you further Marlou

Moi Marlou, Rikus, Theo, Reinhard

In Drenthe ha'w veur *mekaar* ok verschillende varianten.

mekaar (ZO Drenthe, ZW zand, Midden Drenthe,)

mekaor (NO Drenthe)

mekaer, menaer, menaander, mekaander (ZWN Drenthe)

mekare, menaar,menare (ZW Drenthe)

einander (Bargercompascuum)

malkaor, 'nkandern (Midden Drenthe)

'nkander(k) (NO, ZO Drenthe)

'nkaander (ZW,MI Drenthe)

menander, menaor (Proeve van een woordenboek van de Drentse volkstaal in de
negentiende eeuw.)

De "Bentheimer foezel" wörde vrogger nog al riegelmaotig naor Drenthe en
aandere contreien in-evoerd.

't Mut een soort jenèver weden.

Goodgaon,
