Hello Ron,

the main meaning of exactly the same word "sztuka"  in Polish language
is HG "Kunst", E "art". But i have heard also "12 sztuk jaj", but may be
that is valid only in West Poland. When I lived in Poland (Poznań), I
have learned that there are some words used in Western Poland but not
understand in other parts of Poland like "kartofle, halbka, sztanga,
lufcik i.t.d." because of their German origin.

Best regards
Utz H. Woltmann

Thanks a lot, Utz!  That's very interesting.

Talking about such loans, and returning to the Lowlands, does anyone know of
a conveniently accessible list of Low Saxon (Low German) loans in Kashubian?
I know that papers have been presented on the topic, but so far I have seen
no publication myself.  By the way, these loans tend to be presented as
"German" in Poland, just as Low Saxon loans in Estonian (also
super-interesting!) are traditionally referred to as German.

Thanks.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
