Ik citeerde:
>>In a piece about Drenthe, I came up against the following sentence:
>>Bij de dorpen liggen de ESSEN met de nog hier en daar bewaarde
ESWALLEN.
>>Are they referring to the trees 'ashes' and some preserved
>>embankments with
>>ashes? Is there a special term?

en ik schreef:

>met elkaar houden.

Zoals veel lezers waarschijnlijk al wel vermoedden, bedoelde ik
eigenlijk te vragen: of "es" en "eswallen" in de "Drentse" betekenis
etymologisch verband houden met de boom genaamd "es", of dat dit
historisch juist geheel verschillende begrippen zijn.
