Thread:User talk:Rua//ɡ/ vs /ɣ/ in Frisian/reply (5)

Ok, it does have : http://gtb.inl.nl/iWDB/search?actie=article&wdb=WFT&id=727&lemma=%C3%A2lden&domein=0&conc=true. However, it considers it a lemma in its own right and not a plural of. It appears that has additional meanings, such as "elderly people" and "ancestors". If Dutch grammar is any indication, it is a substantivised form of "old" and thus means "old ones", while is originally a comparative "older".
