Hi Marcel & all

For me "Friesian" is a cow and "Frisian" a language or a person speaking it
"Friesian" looks more like Dutch "Fries" of course, but "Frisian" looks 
more how it could be spelled in Frisian orthography, although in Frisian, 
Frisian is "Frysk" of course... Anyone still with me? 
Anyway, personally I like "Frisian" much better and I would never 
use "Friesian" myself.
