> Ook in het Nederlands bestaat dit woord _kwik_

Hallo,

Even aansluitend: we weten allemaal dat er in het
nederlands woorden bestaan met kwik-.

Heel leuk vond ik altijd het woord:
kwikstaart [motacilia / wagtail / schafstelze].

En ik heb altijd graag willen weten wanneer dit woord
voor het eerst op schrift is overgeleverd.
Heeft iemand een idee?

vr.gr.
Theo Homan
