Wiktionary:Requested entries (Low German)

Add links
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Have an entry request? Add it to the list – but please:

  • Consider creating a citations page with your evidence that the word exists instead of simply listing it here
  • Think twice before adding long lists of words as they may be ignored.
  • If possible provide context, usage, field of relevance, etc.
  • Check the Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion if you are unsure if it belongs in the dictionary.
  • If the entry already exists, but seems incomplete or incorrect, do not add it here; add a request template to the entry itself to ask someone to fix the problem, e.g. {{rfp}} or {{rfe}} for pronunciation or etymology respectively.
    — Note also that such requests, like the information requested, belong on the base form of a word, not on inflected forms.

Please remove entries from this list once they have been written (i.e. the link is “live”, shown in blue, and has a section for the correct language)

There are a few things you can do to help:

  • Add glosses or brief definitions.
  • Add the part of speech, preferably using a standardized template.
  • If you know what a word means, consider creating the entry yourself instead of using this request page.
  • Please indicate the gender(s) of nouns in languages that have them.
  • For inflected languages, if you see inflected forms (plurals, past tenses, superlatives, etc.) indicate the base form (singular, infinitive, absolute, etc.) of the requested term and the type of inflection used in the request.
  • For words in languages that don’t use Latin script but are listed here only in their romanized form, please add the correct form in the native script.
  • Don’t delete words just because you don’t know them – it may be that they are used only in certain contexts or are archaic or obsolete.
  • Don’t simply replace words with what you believe is the correct form. The form here may be rare or regional. Instead add the standard form and comment that the requested form seems to be an error in your experience.

A

[edit]
  • ark - etymon of ark, possibly Middle Low German (thus maybe belonging here)
  • arkener - etymon of ark, possibly Middle Low German (thus maybe belonging here)
  • ahnen (“to suspect, guess”)

B

[edit]

D

[edit]
  • dermen or Dermen or Därmen - Middle or New Low German? As in: "Hermen, sla dermen, | sla pipen, sla trummen, | de kaiser wil kummen | met hamer un stangen | wil Hermen uphangen." It occurs in several variants, e.g. sometimes it's with regular German capitalisation, with ^ over long vowels or with å (in sla/slå). It's said to be a popular Westphalian folk rhyme, and seems to have been discovered in the 19th century (1830s).
  • dorlik
  • drāt - see Estonian traat

J

[edit]
  • jiu - you (pl., dat./acc.) = NHG euch. Does it also mean ye/you (pl., nom.) = ihr (2nd ps. pl., nom.), or is it an error in "Dät könn jiu us nit verweern" and "Maket jiu mänt, dät de Türk mot laupen" (from Das Bauerntum des Delbrücker Landes, a High German book with Low German sayings etc.)? Long i developed into ui and long u into iu (Umlaut ui) in Delbrückisch, e.g.: diu = NHG du, dui = dir/dich, mui = mir/mich, wui = wir, Tuit = Zeit, Huisken = Häuschen; thus expected forms would rather be *jui = ihr and jiu = euch...
  • Junge, South- or Southeastwestphalian with request for inflection ({{rfinfl|nds|noun}}, cp. this page's talk page) - boy

K

[edit]

L

[edit]

M

[edit]
  • meestendeels
  • Middelpunkt
  • Míjämeken, Míjäntel - ant. Gender? (Just a guess: The former neuter like words with diminutive suffix -ken and mîjämeken & mîghainken in Woeste's dictionary; the later maybe feminine like mîgénte & mîgampelte in Woeste's dictionary?)
  • muffen, muffe - both likely etymons of English muffin

P

[edit]
  • peel und deel (or peel, deel) - from "Evangelisch-Lutherisches Gemeinde-Blatt. Organ der Ev.-Luth. Synoden von Wisconsin und Minnesota. Redigirt von einer Comittee. 11. Jahrg. No. 3. Milwaukee, Wis., den 1. October 1875. Lauf. No. 276." and "Haus und Herd. Ein Familien-Magazin für Jung und Alt. Redigirt von H. Liebhart. Vierter Jahrgang." (USA, 1876, p. 495); both sources have almost the same text but with some spelling differences like Mode vs. Mood
  • puddig (“inflated”) - see Danish pude

Q

[edit]
  • quassen (from the following derivation of English "quaff" (v.) "to gulp, etc.": "...perhaps imitative, or perhaps from Low German quassen "to overindulge (in food and drink)," with -ss- (-ſſ-) misread as -ff-...)
