In Brabantish also: "nääsn" = "to eat", primarily said of birds who are
being fed by their parents...< aas: bait (E). The noun "nääs" also exists,
and could be used in a sentence like: "Ge koejnd aann nääs zölf züken" = "Go
find your food yourself" (said by parents who are "fed up" with their
children, wanting to teach them a lesson).

"Snasser" is a colloquial word for "mouth".

*Niff, *ä. Spr. Nibbe, gerundet Nüff f. Schnabel, Spitze, Mund, Nase; 'de

knirschend, steinig vom Acker.


"knajnseln, tnajnseln" = to gnaw (B)..."knajtsebeet, ajtsebeet, etsebeet" =
gnawed off apple. When mussels contain sand, and this sand is scraping your
teeth, the verb is "schrajnseln" (B).
