Talk:heeringas

Don't know enough about Estonian to edit, but I think borrowing from is more likely. This also has the plural "herinks", which would be an additional explanation for the final -as. 90.186.83.177 21:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * See here: https://www.eki.ee/dict/ety/index.cgi?Q=heeringas&F=M&C06=et . The difference between Low German/High German loans is often simply time - after the 16th-17th centuries, no more words were borrowed from Low German. And I'm presuming this word has a late attestation.Strombones (talk) 13:13, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
