The frequency with which this word occurs has already led to many discussions.
Rene may remember when I theorised that "daiin" means all or whole.
The frequency versus the meaning certainly proves Rene right. But it also made me think.
I think we have a dialect pronunciation problem here, based on the dialectal a-o-u-i shift.
I refer to the shift that also occurs between Alemannic and Bavarian. Anlauf- alauf-olauf.
Here are some examples of where the word could be used. I don't even think the context helps if you don't know the whole story.
