Hi all,

Ron, 'klok' in Afrikaans is indeed 'bell' as in church bell (kerkklok),
bicycle bell (fietsklokkie), door bell (deurklokkie),

school bell (skoolklok). Example: Die kerkklokke beier al van 7 uur af.

>>Afrikaans: *klok* | *uur* | *... uur*

The form 'uurklok' is archaic. More typical is  'twee/drie/vyf uur' as you
indicated.

Incidentally 'bel' also means 'to telephone' (Ek het jou gister gebel maar
die foon het net gelui).

I guess the word 'oorbel' (earlobe) is also known in Dutch.

Groete!
Elsie Zinsser
