German words from Low German

Yes, if a word was borrowed before 1600, it was borrowed from Middle Low German, and if it was borrowed after that, it was borrowed from German Low German. Compare how béabhar derives from Middle English while gairdín derives from English, and how trousers derives from Middle Irish while keen derives from Irish.

We could add {{also}}s to the tops of Category:German terms derived from Middle Low German, Category:German terms derived from German Low German, Category:German terms derived from Dutch Low Saxon and potentially Category:German terms derived from Plautdietsch, linking them all to each other, and then do likewise for "Dutch terms derived from..." and all the other categories. Assuming we wouldn't have to modify the {{also}}s once they were placed, that wouldn't be the maintenance nightmare it might seem to be at first glance. (In any case, it'd be less of a maintenance nightmare than trying to conflate MLG and GLG, in my estimation.)

All right. I also see that making a theoretical distinction between Middle Low German and German Low German does make sense (at least in general). In this regard, my recommendation to add all MLG words to GLG was maybe not constructive.

I still think it would be best to make a new category "German words from Low German" which would contain all those words (MLG, GLG, Dutch Low Saxon [if there are any], Plautdietsch [about which, admittedly, I know little to nothing], and the like). Meaning that all these words would be in two categories (their original category and the new one).

But nevermind. Let's do it with the thing. Would you do that? Or should I try? I'm not an expert on these templates.
