Hello Luc,



"Ruhklaas" may be "de ruge Klaas", ruug = rough, German "rauh, roh". He
comes at Christmas? Then cf. "Rauhnächte"! Ruhklaas = "De Niklaas, de in de
Ruugnächten kümmt"?

Re "Nikolaus", actually the name says it all: "victory of the people"...no
wonder his popularity is hard to beat. By the way, do you have any idea what
"Ruh" in "Ruhklas" (Santa's name in Mekelenborg) means? < Rute???

Moi Luc,

Ie schreven:

I've been trying to get hold of a book written by Teuchert for such a long
time now (dozens of years), that my adoration for him is starting to reach
mythical proportions. The book deals with linguistic side-effects of the
migration of numerous Dutchmen/Flemings to Eastern Germany during the 12th
century. Until today, some of their words survive; "Stulle" for a slice of
bread, for example.

Kiek ies op de onderstaonde link, kan dit 't boowk weden?
