I heard once in Oklahoma someone who spoke very Southern address his
son with 'kmir, bo:' (come here, boy). I've heard Southern dialects
preserve some features of English dialects, or is this I-less form a
side-form? Also notice the social connotations of that word. Other
example: English boor, cognate with German 'Bauer', and I just saw in
a Jutish dictionary 'boere' used condescendingly of the inhabitants
of Thyholm.
Perhaps a development guest > temporary settler > permanent settler?
