BIJUNKA is a word which meaning (also, moreover, in addition, besides) is only understoond from the context. It does not appear in Oldfrisian dictionaries, nor are any cognates known, thus far. The apparant prefix BI- is known from many other words (Dutch/German/English: bij/bei/by). A known word closest to -JUNKA is JONG, but a possible explanation is not found yet.

varieties

BIJUNKA is used three times, in ch. N1, N2b and R1.
BIJONKA ,, twice: Eb and L1b.
