I know. So what?

Yes, we know what it is a contraction of. So what?

I object! We do not write "good b'ye" to indicate that it derives from  
"be with ye".

All that is needed for this fossilized phrase is "durda dhe" + hwi/whi/ 
hwei/whei

One of the worst things about the SWF is its ham-fisted and amateurish  
way of handling of punctuation and "abbreviation".
