Talk:Platt

MLG term?
It was
 * From

where I first wanted to add to display [Term?]. But sources indicate that it doesn't come from MLG at all. So for the adjective it should be from NLG, from MLG, from Dutch. For the noun it should be Dutch or NLG, or maybe a NHG substantivization or shortening of terms like Plattdeutsch, platte Sprache, but not MLG. -84.161.26.109 03:21, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Schiller-Lübben has (adj.) =,  = flat,  (adv.) = , ,.
 * Lexer's MHG dictionary doesn't have an adjective plat, platt, blat or blatt although there is *blat said to be in blatevuoʒ from MLG.
 * Duden states NHG platt comes from NLG, from MLG plat(t).
 * Pfeiffer at DWDS among other things mentions Dutch phrases like "nl. in goede platten duytsche [...] nl. ik seggt uw plat, opt platte, wozu entsprechend nd. platt Adj. (17. Jh.) und substantiviert Platt n.".
