Also Bavarian should have some kind of der/die/das word like standard German, am I right?
Unfortunately we don't have good candidates for such words.

These small words almost disappear in Bavarian; they are attached to other words or combined with other small words: Here are some more examples.

High German: Hol die Wurzel,
Bavarian: Hoi d'Wurzn,
Phonetic hoid wurzn.
komt es = komts / kimts /kümts
von dem = vonm / vonem / vonim / vom (wie verwenden „vom“ auch im Hochdeutschen)
so ist = sosts / sost / sist / sois / 
in der = inde / inda /inte

Register or Login to view.For words that begin with consonait sounds, these are also known as consonant blends (two letters that make one sound: e.g., black, slack, clown). The initial consonant blend (or two letters) is moved to the end of the word, then "ay" is added, as in the following examples:

Yes, I suspect something similar in the VMS text. The y's are vowels maybe "i" or "u" in the word that have been moved to the end.
