"Der duckter sogt eara complaint wær ... conclommereashen im kup, so dos se so unfergleichlich schwitza mus in der nacht, _=abbordich=_ wan se tsu gedeckt is mit em fedder bet."--_Rauch_, Feb. 1, 1870. _The doctor asserts her 'complaint' to be ... 'conglomeration' in the head, so that she must sweat uncommonly in the night,_ PARTICULARLY _when she is covered_ [_tsu_ is accented] _in with the feather bed._ =Biibi=, =piipi=, =biibǝli=; Swiss bibi, bibeli, bidli (a young chicken). Used also to call fowls--the second form in the vicinal English, in which a male fowl is often called a hé-biddy. The Swiss use in PG. of the genitive form _des_ of the article, instead of the neuter nominative _das_, causes little or no confusion, because this genitive is not required, and its new use prevents confusion between _das_ and _dasz_. Where German uses _des_, as in _Der Gaul des_ (or _meines_) _Nachbars_ (the horse of the, or my, neighbor), PG. uses a dative form-- ... dem (or meim for meinem) nochbǝr sei˛ gaul (the neighbor his horse). See the quotation (p. 28) from Schöpf. PG. inflects most of its verbs regularly, as in 'gedenkt' for G. _gedacht_, from _denken_ (to think). In the following list, the German infinitive, as _backen_ (to bake), is followed by the third person of the present indicative (er) _bäckt_, PG. (ær) 'bakt' (he bakes). The PG. infinitive of _blasen_, _braten_, _fragen_, _rathen_, _dürfen_, _verderben_, is 'bloosǝ, brootǝ, frooghǝ, rootǝ, dærfǝ, f'rdærwǝ.' 'bloosǝ' (to blow) and 'nemmǝ' (to take) occur below, in the extract from Miss Bahn. G. G.
