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. 🧵👇🏻

So, it's still November and a grey, wet day here at the Baltic, which leads me back to the #poem "To a #Mouse - On Turning her up in her Nest, with the Plough, November 1785" by Robert #Burns.

There are quite some people on the net having fun with it. (And everybody should!)

Some years ago I tried something myself.

I thought about the similarities between #Scots and #Plattdüütsch languages and attempted a translation into #Plattdeutsch #lowgerman:
