In one regular feature of the eight-page brochure, questions to the editors about the origin, occurrence and meaning of words are answered, for example: „was ist ein Baamhackl?“, „Können Sie uns erklären, warum die Tannenzapfen bei uns Butzküh heißen?“ or „Woher kommt die Bezeichnung Achatznkousal für den Marienkäfer?“. Other popular subjects include vernacular expressions pertaining to food and drink, country lore, riddles and proverbs from the Bayerisches Wörterbuch collection. Many queries also deal with the subject of dialect in education and social life, with ethnographic aspects of the vocabulary, with semantic areas and word families.
