Dear lowlanders,

For some time now, there is a word that intreges me very much. It is
about
the word "stuite" or "stute" We use it for a slice of bread.
F.i.: dunne stuitjes snijden
      beuter op uw stuitjes doen
      een vierstute (bread we eat around 4 o'clock)
      vollaerdstute (koekebrood= bread prepared with milk)
My question is:
Do we find that word also in other regions of the lowland country's or
is it
just a typical word for West-Vlaanderen? I ask this because these words
do
not exist in Dutsh.

Meany greatings

Luc, Lowlanders,

I do not know what the etymology is, but I can tell you that in Northern
Low Saxon (Low German) we alsi use this word:

Stuten (['stU:tn=], Dutch spelling _Stoetn_, masc., pl. _Stuten_)
'sweet, cake-like bread (usually with raisins and/or currants)'

Studendag 'holiday'

Stutenweek 'holiday week', 'honeymoon'

Stutenbacker 'pastry chef', 'cake baker'

Stutenfro ~ Stutenfru 'itinerant female vendor of bread'

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
