Ingaveonic Implicatures

---- I contributed a lot to Schipper's Anglo-Saxon England files, and it's all out there for your elucidation.

My focus in that forum always was the well-known Implicature by Hazzlit:


Bread, Butter, and Green Cheese

---- Is Very Good English, and Very Good Friese.



When I was in Leeuwaarden, I tried to implicate in Frisian, but other than "Momma", the mechanisms of cross-cultural conventional maximisation of the detachability either escapes them, or _me_. Good beer, though.
