Etymology
Often said to be related to English get; this is not true, however. It is a conjugated form of det (that) In Limburgish normally the begin letter of a definite article ("d") changes to "g" when preceded by a preposition (ich gaef d e miens vs ich gaef aan g e miens) In the old days, this was the same for pronouns. Only one fossilised form survived, get, though its meaning has slightly shifted.

Pronoun
get


 * 1) something
