I kind of hate that even in descriptive grammars, e.g., when morphology is separated out of usage. Here are the subjunctive forms of verbs, and they don’t say what that is or does for the next 100 pages. 😅

East Frisian on Team *pezd- too, I guess.

Another regional “discovery” in North Frisian ruined by Scandinavian:

Eng fart, HGrm Furz, WFrs furt, ÖöFrs fört, BökFrs fjart < *pr̩d-, but Söl'ring Fiis, Halunder Fis, Wiedingharder fis < *pezd-

Guess what Danish & Swedish have. 😑

Scandinavian has the word too Wiktionary tells me. Oh well. Still, pretty cool that Mainland North Frisian has this little isogloss with Scandinavian, but not with the rest of Frisian.

Probably not “cognate”, don’t know how vowels work out, but curious.

Great! I’ll send you an e-mail later today! I now have time on Mondays.

Ah, Mondays, great! I thought Tuesdays from your ‘now’ and wouldn’t have worked for me.

Wait, when is the reading group happening? 🧐

Also, regretably, I have never studied Dutch, but is the sentence “Fries zit in de lift” an example of the famous use of certain lexical verbs like ‘sit’ and ‘stand’ in Dutch where German and English would just use a copular construction?

It is a phonemic /ʁ/, but being realized trilled [ʀ].

Yep, it is a phonemic /ʁ/, but clearly realized trilled [ʀ].

Excellent news!!

Vielen Dank dafür. Ich werde das am Wochenende lesen.
