Beste Roger,



you wrote, answering to Heathers question about *'vine'* resp. *'vinestall'*
:



>> The Dutch "vim" may be related. It can mean both a quantity of wood as
also a woodpile.



Interesting! In our Low Saxon we have "Wiemen" [veemen] in the meaning of a
woodpile, too. An idiom, often used, is "Ick gao' nu' opp'n Wiemen!",
meaning "I'm going to sleep now!". It originates from chicken sleeping on
woodpiles.



*>> VIM*

>> II) Als benaming voor een *stapel of hoop.*

>> 1) In het alg. *Stapel, mijt, hoop van hout, hooi of eenig
landbouwproduct*.



Exactly for this we have "Diemen" [deemen]. Though, according to
etymological rules, it should be impossible(?) it's anyhow looking and
sounding related, isn't it?



Allerbest!
