[edit] Words used to describe the case system

I give the English translations of the words used for describing the case system, I am not an expert on Middle Dutch, so feel free to correct all errors I might make. 惑乱 分からん 12:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Your translation was correct, I've added "actions" to "deed" to make it more clear as Dutch "daden" has a somewhat broader meaning.

OK, thanks, it was a lot of probable guesswork from cognates and loanwords in other West and North Germanic languages. 惑乱 分からん 13:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of Orthography

The discussion of Middle Dutch orthography could be much improved. Some of the claims are dubious, some outright untrue. For instance, the use of <c> to represent Gmc. /k/ was relatively rare in early Middle Dutch, though I'm not sure how common it became later. Also, the description is very non-factual and unprofessional in general. It contains claims about the way people wrote that are plainly untrue. Lufiend 03:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
