The vocabulary of PG. has but few synonyms, a single word being used where High German has several, as 'plats' (place) for G. _platz_ and _ort_. Of the German words for _horse_ (pferd, ross, gaul, etc.), 'gaul' is universal in speech, _ross_ seems not to be known, and _pferd_ is almost restricted to print.[15] A colt is not called _füllen_ as in German, but 'hutsch,' with a diminutival 'hutschli' (in Suabian _hutschel_, _hutschele_, Westerwald _husz_, Lusatian _huszche_.) A pig is not _ferkel_ (Lat. porc-ell-us, Welsh porch-ell) but 'seili' (from _sau_), and children call it 'wuts' (Suab. butzel) a repetition of this being used (as well in vicinal English) in calling these animals. 'Kalb' (calf, pl. 'kelwǝr') is named by children 'hamǝli'[16] when a suckling. Cows are called with 'kum see! see! see hamǝli! see!' and when close at hand with 'suk suk suk' (as in for_sook_)--used also in the English of the locality.[17] Of G. _knabe_ (boy) and _bube_, pl. _buben_, PG. takes the latter as 'buu,' pl. 'buuwǝ;' and of the G. _haupt_ and _kopf_ (head) it prefers the latter as 'kǝp.' Of the verbs _schmeissen_ and _werfen_ (to throw), _kriegen_ and _bekommen_ (to obtain), _hocken_ and _sitzen_ (to sit), _schwetzen_ and _sprechen_ (to talk), _erzählen_ and _sagen_ (to tell), PG. uses 'schmeissǝ,' 'kriighǝ,' 'hǝkǝ,' 'schwetsǝ' and 'saaghǝ' almost exclusively. The suffix -lein, condensed to-li and -l, is the universal diminutival, as in Swisserland and South Germany--a small house being called 'heissli' and not _häus-chen_, and a girl 'meedl' and not _mädchen_. It is, however, very often associated with the adjective klee˛ (little) G. _klein_, as in PG. 'ǝ klee˛ bichli' (a little book). German _kartoffeln_ (potatoes) is rejected for G. _grundbirnen_[18] under the form of 'krumpiirǝ,' where 'krum' is accepted by some as _krumm_ (crooked), while some regard the latter part as meaning _pears_, and others as _berries_. =F'rleícht=, =Fileícht= (perhaps, G. vielleicht) are in use, but the former seems the more common. =Sauǝrampl=, G. sauerampfer (sorrel, Rumex). =Rewwǝr=, =Krik=, =Krikli= (Eng. _river_, _creek_) have thrust aside G. _flusz_ and _bach_. =Laafǝ= (to walk; G. _laufen_ to run, and to walk). =Schpring-ǝ= (to run, a Swiss usage. G. _springen_, to leap, spring, gush). =Petsǝ= (to pinch), Alsace pfetsǝ, Swiss pfätzen, Suab. pfetzen. =Tref= (Suab., a knock, blow). PG. 'ich tref dich' (I strike thee). =Schmuts= (a hearty kiss). Swiss, Suab., in G. _schmatz_. =Un'ich= (under), G. unter, occurs in provincial German as unn-ig and unt-ig; hinnig occurs also, PG. 'hinnich,' as in '=hinnich= d'r diir' _behind the door_. Wii m'r donaus glǝffǝ sin, bin ich hinnich iin nooch glǝffǝ. _As we walked out, I walked behind him._ For 'hinnich,' Alsatian has hing-ǝ, as in 'M'r geen hing-ǝ [nach den] noo dǝ goortǝ noo'--_We go along behind the garden._
