    It's also found in High German, Low Franconian, Gothic and Frisian. It's just a feature preserved mostly by West and, to some extent, East Germanic languages (it was probably used in Vandalic and Burgundian too) from Proto-Germanic *ga-, in Old Norse it's just found in some specific words.

    The tittle of the thread is ofcourse wrong, since Low Saxon differ a lot and there does not exist what you can call a unified Low Saxon language. By lifepartner happend to be of low saxon origin, and living in a low Saxon region and meeting locals from villages you really get suprised by the different words people use. But its a nice form of communication and eay to get used gto it, esp. if your mother tngue already is Dutch
