@elmerot @linguistics That is definitely a possibility, but not a certain fact. That etymology would result in two different explanations for #FennoSwedish “mojn” and “morjens” respectively.
The Finnish greeting is discussed in Mikko #Bentlins doctoral thesis on Middle #LowGerman loanwords in #Finnish.
Equally intriguing, but not discussed anywhere, is the origin of Baltic #Finnic “hei”.

By and large #WestNorse preserves more of #ProtoGermanic than #EastNorse. An exception is the verbal stem gā/*ga- ’go’, which in #OldSwedish was used in the present tense and at times in the infinitive. Else its inflection was suppleted by forms of the verb ”ganga”.
In West Norse ”gá” is attested very sparsely indeed, and instead ”ganga” is used throughout the paradigm.
In past research there was an idea that gā could have been borrowed from #LowGerman, but today this is not deemed probable. 🧵👇🏻 -

@onlmaps Are these “dialects” in the historical #LowGerman speech area meant to denote dialects of German or of Low German? I mean was the assimilation of Low German so advanced already in 1900 that no distinction can be made?
I think I see a slightly thicker line where I would expect a boundary between the two languages, but it is ridiculously thin: not meant to be noticed unless you look for it. And the name of the map…. #LinguisticAppropriation? -
