Additional Notes

Wedemark

The dictionary makes clear it's Eastphalian (see eck, meck [Acc.], deck [Dat., Acc.], e- (= HG ge-)). "Unser Wedemärger Platt ist das alte ostwestwälische Platt" (-märger and not -märker, -wälisch and not -fälisch), if -fälisch is meant, isn't correct. Also notice "Augebombte" (= Ausgebombte), "augebaut" (= aufgebaut). Thus, "ostwestwälische" could be some kind of spelling mistake (like a written slip of the tongue), or be a mistake by a non-linguist. --Bakunla (talk) 12:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Dialects exhibit forms of other delects all the time. These are areal features. The author clearly calls it ostwestfälische, and to disregard his classification as a "spelling mistake" is ridiculous. --{{victar|talk}} 16:10, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Spellings

• -n, -'n are also regular spellings besides -en (e.g. Johann Meyer uses both -en and -n; Fritz Schwerin has -'n)
• î, ī which do occur besides ie, i or sometimes ii (e.g. F. W. Lyra), y (e.g. G. Ungt) do occur in both, texts written in a scientific spelling (e.g. Friedrich Woeste) as well as in texts with regular spellings (e.g. Christian Gilow).

Thus rîw'n could be rîwen, rîw'n, rîwn, riwen, riw'n, riwn, riewen, riew'n, riewn, riiwen, riiw'n, riiwn, rywen, ryw'n, rywn elsewhere. --Bakunla (talk) 12:57, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
