impyness?



In my Low Saxon speech we say 'Beyderkeys''. That's absolute within the Low
Saxon rules, I think, and is the direct successor of "Bederiks-a" ;-)!



> In my previous mail I explained the sound shifts that led to the word.



But you withheld us that the same occurs in Standard German: the
pronunciation "Be'er-kesa" is not unusual for speakers of Standard German.



> It's obviously the direct successor of the old "*Bederiks-a".

By no means, with this miss of '-*k*[es]' and a "t" added for special
purposes.



Houl Dii, Du verdrayhte sture Keyrl ;-)! Nu' is 't 'nough!
