Leyve Reynhard,

> Jonny, I know the name of the old-time portable heaters as _vuyer-kyk(e)_

> German
> _Feuerkieke_ (> _fajerka_, _fojerka_, _fojera_, _fajerka_, _fojyrka_, etc.
> in
> Polish and Czech dialects). In some LS dialects it's called _staav'_ (<
> *_stave_), probably related to "stove" and possibly loaned from Frisian.

> I have no idea about the etymology of _kyk_ for a container, though I
