Talk:De cost gaet voor de baet uyt

RFV discussion
This is marked as Middle Dutch, but the description mentions the Golden Age of Dutch history. That is actually the 17th century so that would make this early modern Dutch (which we group under ==Dutch==) and not Middle Dutch. Note that this proverb is still in use, but under its modern spelling de kost gaat voor de baat uit. 21:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
 * books.google.nl has 40 hits for this. I suppose they could be all mentions. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:03, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What is important is that the hits date back before 1500. I'm not questioning whether this exists, but whether it exists in Middle Dutch like the entry says. 19:54, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * So worst case scenario, we can just change the header to Dutch? Mglovesfun (talk) 21:54, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess we can just change language to "Dutch". Even though spelling in this form is archaic, there are plenty of examples of analogous spelling well into early 18th century, plus from superficial googling it looks like those few who bother dating/attributing thing quote, attribute it to the early days of VOC (i.e. first half of 1600s). 22:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
