'ü' becomes 'i' in PG., G. _lügen_ (to tell a lie) and _liegen_ (to lie down--both having the first vowel long) might be confused, but the latter is shortened in PG., as in 'ær likt' (he lies down) 'ær liikt' (he tells a lie). PG. Was wi't? _What wilst thou?_ G. Was willst du? Woo't weepe? Woo't fight? Woo't teare thy ſelfe?[14] Ich wil fischǝ gee˛. _I will go to fish._ Ich hab kschriwwǝ. _I have_ (geschrieben) _written_. Sin mr net keiǝrt? _Are we not married?_ G. Sind wir nicht geheirathet? (or verheirathet.) Infinitive-n is rejected, as in the Swiss and Suabian dialects. In an Austrian dialect it is rejected when _m_, _n_, or _ng_ precedes, as in singa, rena, nehma, for _singen_, _rennen_, _nehmen_.--_Castelli_, Wörterbuch, 1847, p. 31. The length of some vowels is doubtful, as in 'rot' or 'root' (red, like English _rŏte_ or _rōde_), 'so' or 'soo,' 'nochbǝr' or 'noochbǝr,' 'ǝmol' or 'ǝmool,' 'ja' or 'jaa,' 'sii' or 'sĭ' (she, they, ĭ in deceĭt, not in _sit_). Compare English 'S_ē_e!' and 'S_ĕ_e thêre!' _Accent_ in PG. agrees with that of High German. When indicated, as in danóot or danoot' (for the 'oo' represent a single vowel, as in Eng. _floor_), it is to afford aid to the reader not familiar with German accent. FOOTNOTES:
